How do you solder a piece of metal flat against another piece of metal though? Just follow around the edges? I don't really see solder around the edges.

Can't find any guides or videos of anyone soldering or brazing sheet metal together like this, but I guess I'll have to experiment with it.

Google "building a wargaming bridge" and I am sure you will get tons of guides. I would look into MDF lazering and wood glue. spray that shit and paint it

Thanks, but I really want it to be all metal and not wood. All of these old toy train bridges are metal and I should be able to build them the same way somehow...

I will still search for waraming stuff specifically (didn't think of that before) and see if I can find any metal ones.

Just took a closer look at that and it may just be glue or epoxy, even maybe transfer adhesive.

I suppose that could be the case. I guess those parts aren't really structural and all weight is held by the base.

I've also thought about building one with small nuts and bolts.

Cable and crimps might do the trick. Just let it loop underneath and up the other side

Nice idea. Didn't think of that.

You can get the solder between the two, in fact if the surface is a bit uneven it should get in there on its own (assuming you have clean surfaces with flux). But you can probably just use epoxy or whatever glue you want, it's easier.
