yeah, the friction pegs i used to hold the arch segments together are now
frictionless. they got squished just slightly. next time i set it up i'm
going to use axles instead.
it is an amazingly strong bridge. i had my doubts that it would hold the
wight over such a large span, but knowing that your bridge was used at a
train show with out any problems was reassuring to me.
