Lee and the team continue assembly of the humdreds of component parts.
The all-aluminum construction is held together with lots of rivets and
then some more rivets...
These pictures show
the bridge and its rolling arm. The large box at the top of is for the
counterweights. The picture on the left is the stationary part of the
bridge. Note the rack on the top edge where the lift bridge pinion rolls
engages.
Here are some photos
of the completed bridge project. The rolling action is amazing and with
counterweights installed, it can be moved up and down with one finger.
This is a one of kind
work of art that hopefully one day will find a home
as a centerpiece on a G Scale layout.
