. The trial N error engineering of the lift bridge was truly enjoyable to watch N learn of something new. 👍
Best custom lift bridge I've seen. Great engineering, nothing wrong with prototyping to final design.
Great ideas! The main thing is if it works for you then it works!
So far so good absolutely enjoy yourself an take your time great video!
Paint would make it look great. Good to learn something new.
Great progress, Dave, and some good solutions to the lift bridge issue. 😎👍
nice job as always
Fantastic work! The gaps are really minimal. It looks very well built and smooth.
Dave... I'm the same way, trial and error. Job well done ! 👍
Love that track test car.👍 Awesome job on the lift bridge. You gave me ideas for my layout upgrade.
Sounds like a plan. You got this !
Planning and building new is my favorite also I’m jealous of your space you have sweet drawbridge work 😎👊
So glad you went to all wood. I was thinking the rod would end up making the hole enlarged and unlevel. Now some foam under the bridge to dampen the noise. Turned out nice
Great job, Dave. You can tell you put a lot of effort into the thought process. It looks like it will be a sound design. This will only serve to help out to expedite the rest of the build and with future projects going forward. I agree with your idea to get the lift section fully ironed out and resolved taking your time. It's not something to be rushed through unless you're fine with doing it over once the trains are up and running.
An easy solution for keeping the lift bridge up is installing counter balance weights on each side with guy strand cable, (aircraft cable) and weights, similar to a double hung windows
Awesome job at the lift bridge!
WOW!!! Great Job!! Your usual fine skills!!!
Thank you!
Awesome video. Dave. And you are right….i often bump my head or shoulders on my duck under. My next (and final) layout will have some sort of lift bridge. 😊
Good work. You'r very clever!
I admire your persistence in constructing the bridge especially considering the different angles your dealing with. It all equates to a very original design. I'm amazed how well the track aligns. I think the final outcome is going to be very exciting. Thanks for taking us behind the layout, something you haven't been able to do before. I think that should be very interesting back there. Great progress! Its coming together....slow and steady!
Looks good. There are a lot of different ways to make a lift bridge.
Slowly And Surly and A Whole Lot of Passion.that’s the Recipe for Model Railroading.
Awesome job Dave on that bridge impressive indeed really like the way you’re going with your layout enjoy your videos take care keep building
Well done Dave! This video's a good illustration how sometimes layout features aren't built as much as they evolve, if that makes sense. Anyway, that's a very finely crafted lift!
Dang, I forgot how big(tall) O gauge track rail was, lol I'm used to gargrave, atlas, fastrack lower profile rail. I think 0/27 track looks more scale. The lift bridge looks great man, well executed for sure. I agree with you, who wants to look at big hinges on the layout. You got that looking sweet.
O gauge rail and toes are Standard Gauge. I said ties. They are just regained to o gauge. O gauge track is like 10 ft tall. Waylon tires are way out of scale. Phone Justin translate what I say. Piece of s*** phone
You've accomplished a lot, Dave. The angle on the lift bridge access is a great achievement. I'm sure it was a lot of trial and error before came out the way you wanted it, but you got it working alright. Looking to more exciting developments!
I'd say the combination of an angled bridge and a drop-end are quite unique, and falls into the catagory of, "They said it Couldn't be Done, but I Done it...!"
The dowel pins are a very good idea, because there will be some 'looseness' in this sooner or later.
As for cutting the current when the bridge is lifted, I'd recommend good ol' micro switches, perhaps 5 Amp rated?
What's important is that the current is cut as soon as the track is lifted enough to derail wheels.
That said, what you've done has already started me thinking about something similar...
Lastly, Thank You Sir, for your creativity and willingness to experiment...!
Looks like a switch is in the future on the outer loop.
Impressive!
I think it turned out great!
Love it so far Dave. Is there any chance you could do a video on how you cut your tubular track to shape ?
Very nice. Everything is coming along quite nicely. Have you thought about an O72 switch at either end of the extension, so you could still run through the tunnel? I’m not sure if I missed anything. Either way, everything looks just perfect. An excellent video, as always.
I love the new layout look so far Great Job Dave can't wait to see your next video on whatever you're up bud oh are you going 2 York this Fall?
Don’t Forget you are The Biggest Crittic of that Layout.
Great work Dave! Your walk through puts ours to shame! Can you link the hinges you used?
Thank you! I’ll put the link in the video description
I’m working on my lift bridge as well but not quite happy with it. Could you please tell me what hinges you are using or link? Thanks. I’m using menards track as well and I have a bigger gap I need to close.
