This weekend I made some progress on the mike g. lift bridge installation. There was a lot of trial and error, but here it is as of now.
The two bridges will settle to the down position on this end. I added a 1x2 to the Mianne legs so there would be something firm to attach the bottom board for the bridges to settle down on. The high bridge will have a pier to accept it.
I had to adjust the heights of my horizontal braces on this side several times to get it to work. The upright is attached with just a drywall screw for now at the pivot point to get it lined up right. It is just the first piece of the actual bridge support. I noticed I need to make some changes after I finished today.
Here it is in the down position with a through girder bridge section lettered for Western Maryland Railway balanced on top. I need to get two more through girder bridges to cross the chasm. I'll use the through truss bridge on the upper level so you can see both bridges well from wither side.
