Download RW-Tools and use the "Check Routes or Scenarios" tool to see if you're actually missing assets from your installation.

I do not have the route so cannot check. It may be that the bridge supports have their LoD (Level of Density) set at 1. In which case they will only be seen if the Scenery Density is set to maximum. A quick way to check is to go to the location (ie stop in the scenario), go into the menu and select World Editor. Once in, move the mouse over the location. If the supports are in place, but not viewable, then they will momentarily appear as your mouse moves over them. If you feel confident, double click on them and the properties box will appear on the right hand side (if that just flashes in place, it can be made to stick by clicking the ".." on the top right). In the box you will see the LoD panel, set to 1 or 2. Change to 5 or 6, then press F2 to save changes. Return to your scenario, and the supports will be seen

PS you can access the menu in a scenario from the HuD - it is displayed as a || sign near the Screenshot button

What scenery density are your graphic options set to? Sometimes visually important assets are incorrectly set by the route builder so they dont show below max setting. This can be changed in the route editor, or you can push your graphic setting up if your PC can take it.

It is not the route builder that sets the LoD, but the sim randomly sets the value in an attempt to keep the resource hit as low as possible. That was understandable in 32bit in a tile that had many thousands of assets, but not much use in 64bit. Before I publish a route, I run a routine in RW_Tools to fix a minimum level of the LoD in the Scenery tiles (usually around the 4 or 5 value.)
Note that changing the value in the Scenario Editor only fixes it for that scenario, but if you switch to World (Route) Editor, it does it for the route

This bridge?

https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/765 ... 3541468219

It used to be available from UKTS in UKTS_21652_VictoriaBridge.rwp . I would have said try at http://www.kevinmcgowan.org but that site seems to have vanished too! As far as I know Kevin still works for Dovetail.

It does not appear to have ever been distributed with the route.
