I posted a rough step by step description of this process over on "What did you do on your layout today?".
More people than normally look over there might be interested in trying this.
I wasn't feeling like actually doing work on the layout, so I did a little project at the workbench. I needed two, 3 track signal bridges. This is a regular Lionel 450, 2 track bridge, with a leg removed. I also took the signal heads off.
Years ago, back at enterTRAINment, one of my guys took two bridges and created this 4 track monster, which I have no use for now.
So, I lopped off one track's worth, and paired it with the one legged bridge.
I had to get a little creative connecting the two pieces, by soldering them and grinding off the excess. It looks a little rough close up, but once I paint it and add the new signal heads nobody will notice.
Here's the finished bridge.
The odd leg was added back to the cut down quad, and then there were two triples!
They will be placed at either end of the Hoffman interlocking...
and carry multiple masts with multiple heads.
Just like this.
Feel free to ask questions.
