Well, let's see - I think I'm OK:
1) I've load tested my layout with 18 lbs of lead push/pulled by 6
engines. This includes having 9 lbs+ dynamic loading on a bridge at
once. Incidentally, this train goes a heck of a clip on slopes... :)
2) My layout is 10-wide compliant, including extra-extra long cars.
3) I've got these cool little slopey bits on either side of the bridge
abutments which will cause 12-wide and wider cars to lift themselves
right off the tracks if they insist on driving through.
So I'm cool with that. :D
Now I just need a letter of marque saying I can sieze any RCXes that try
to pull into my ports. Arrrrr, matey!
