This didn't happen today but last week. Dad needed another bridge to span across the walk way on his new layout for the commuter line. He said, "Let's get out the Erector sets and build one." Using a plan in the erector books we built a "rolling lift bridge." He did get it working this week with one of the erector motors. I know this is something different from O gauge (it's actually Gilbert of course) but I thought y'all might like seeing it. Happy railroading and happy new year!

Berkshirelover726,

Thanks for sharing this project and great pics - the smile on your Dad's face says it all.

The Gilbert Erector set i had as a youngin' was one of my favorite toys - the only one that I still have. 4 more boxed sets have been added over the last several years - still fun and challenging.
