Lift Bridge pics!

Down position and locked.

Raised. Going to get a chain or something to hook it to as a safety measure but it stays up on its own.

Closer look at the latch end. The hardware on the right is to keep it aligned in one spot, with no movement once down. The sliding bolt on the left keeps it down.

Closer look at the hinge end. These hinges pull the bridge away when raised, so the track ends can be almost butted up against each other.

So tomorrow, I will need to mount one piece of flex track and the loop will be complete. It will also need to have power routed to it.

Jerry, this really innovative! May I steal this idea and design of a lift section? I might need one in my proposed layout.

Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:

But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Mike, feel free to use anything you think might work. Definitely seat of the pants engineering on my part, "crude but functional" it has stood the test of time!

I did have to tweak it a bit at one point, due to what I believe was the trailer settling.

Thank you so much, sir! I was reading through the historical part of your thread (and only got to page 54 so far) and really am amazed at the layout, the history, the camaraderie of this forum, the encouragement, etc!

I assume the tweaks are probably further down in the thread and I will eventually get to it. I am debating between a swing out or a lift-up at this point. What I really like about the lift-up is that there are no bi-directional forces to deal with - the weight of the mobile module is supported at least at two points when at rest, AND being able to keep tighter tolerances. I will have to read more.

Thank you again....and thank you, Randy, for pointing this out!

Can I still get the newbie discount of no brakewheels?

We have a reciprocal agreement.

Our latest marketing slogan. You saw it here first:

"When you want it there 3½ days ago: The Beav'"

Good point, Lee. We're looking to add a dedicated passenger car to the consist for exclusive "Flamin' Beaver" service for travelers interested in speedy rail travel. It would certainly be an industry first, and you would rest assured your mom-in-law would be in good hands - plus you could "track" her!
