Reply to "lift up bridge"

@Joe K posted:

I used the lift up type bridge on the top level, and a swing type (like a door) on the bottom level. The hinge on the top is above the track level as stated earlier. I painted the hinge flat black like the bridge, and it kind of disappears. The hinge was from Home Depot.

I used the same Home Depot hinges on my bridge.  They are heavy duty so they handle the load well and don't shift.  I like how you hide them so you see very little of them from the top down.  Mine are exposed but I will finish them with flat black paint so they look part of the bridge.  I also like your wedges you made for the other end.  Great idea.  I just cut a chunk out of the foam and 1/2 plywood table top to fit.  But I'm going to try the wedges on my 2nd level bridge and a lift out I already installed on another part of my layout. bridge1bridge2bridge3
