Here is something I built last year.
Bridge is an old Leva model probably over 10 years old now. The trailers from scratch last year as no one makes them. They were not to hard to make. Base from a large truck turned around so that the front became the back, They added I beams and built up the sides with balsa wood or plastic strips to represent the planks. Topped with a couple of life rafts from some 1/400 scale ships and spare engineer bridges from SdKfz 251/7. Finished off with the A frame at the front from a staple.
I am sure the GHQ could do better (hint Hint). What would really be nice is upturned pontoons on trailers.
