I have two Lionel 213 lift bridges on my layout. I just became aware of a clearance problem. I was running an MTH scale Pennsy caboose and heard it clipping the lower cross member on one end of one of the bridges. That prompted me to check my MTH auto carriers for clearance. Bad news, the lower cross members would take off everything from the hood up of the cars on the upper deck.

A few years ago I had a problem with a Williams E-44 that struck the inside cross member. I was contemplating removing the cross member so I could run the engine; however Lionel came out with the E-44 so I sold the Williams.

Back to the present, I really like these auto carriers, especially the Ertl 50s & 60s autos. I feel the bridges are just scenery and am really not concerned about the collectability. So I am once again seriously thinking about modifying them.

Has the ozone gotten to me? What would you do?
