martylee Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Can someone help me with photos of a US ww2 infantery bridge? I know of one that is for sale, and think it would look really good in the back of the Jimmy. Marty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Hi Marty did you ever get the bridge ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martylee Posted May 7, 2008 Author Share Posted May 7, 2008 Haven't been able to look at it yet, but will look at it in two weeks now. If it is in ok shape I'll buy it. Then I have to figure out the transportation. Would be good fun for the summer, wouldn't it? Marty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Norway seems to be the place to be for kit.....can we have a tour please?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martylee Posted July 4, 2008 Author Share Posted July 4, 2008 The bridge is rather expensive and the price demanded is about 120 euroes! ;-) And I will make sure to post a few photos of the bridge on the nearby lake. Tour of Norway, Jack? Anytime! And to be honest, I really think that you guys would enjoy a trip around Norway. Even without any majot battles there are some really intresting places to visit. Almost in every town around here there's some kind of old german buildings. Mostly barracks, but also buildings like cinemas and of course forts.

Tony B Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Sounds like a great idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martylee Posted August 10, 2008 Author Share Posted August 10, 2008 We picked up the bridge with a MAN truck yesterday and took it to my parents place where theres room and a LAKE!!! Unfortunately the weather isn't that great and my GF has plans for us, so I won't be able to try it out until... At least this evening! Relax, I'll take the camera with me. This is just sort of a teaser. Marty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 This site is getting very musical. 'Bridge over troubled waters' is now spinning through what passes for a brain. :argh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martylee Posted August 10, 2008 Author Share Posted August 10, 2008 In a few hours I'll be whisteling the tune from "the bridge over river Kwai", which I by the way really have to see again soon. Marty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Have you done it yet, it's nearly 2 hours since Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martylee Posted August 10, 2008 Author Share Posted August 10, 2008 Have you done it yet, it's nearly 2 hours since Yep, the garden is done now! But somehow I feel you were thinking of something different. And I don't think it was the pasta dinner I'm making either... You guys better be patient!

Joris Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Can't wait to see the pictures!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martylee Posted August 10, 2008 Author Share Posted August 10, 2008 I'm finally home after testing the bridge. I do belive I've kept you waiting long enough, so here's the promised photos. Hope they're not a disapointment after all this time... We only put together a small part of it since the weather was like it was and I'm about to travel to Holland tomorrow morning. I said this was one bridge, but it more like one and a half. Corporal Truls says the bridge is finished. Here's me on the bridge as requested. Here is the remains of an earlier project.

martylee Posted August 10, 2008 Author Share Posted August 10, 2008 I'm not sure I gave a reason why I bought this bridge. Do we really need one? Well, anyway we now have this yellow Jimmy which some day will become all green and nice. We need something in the back of it, at what better than a bridge. It fits perfect back there.
