The Bridge (in the better living center #28) is a O scale rendition of the New Haven Rolling Bascule over the Housatonic River.  Model was built in the 1930's.  It still works, just like the Prototype built in 1906 (they don't build them like they use to).

Is the same fellow still demonstrating the bridge every half hour? As I recall, he had been a field service rep for Pratt & Whitney Aircraft engines and was one of the most senior members of the New Haven modeling society.
