(...) Ahhh - I missed the thin grey line of the monorail track - I see now that it's not part of the bridge, just very close to it. The question about ZNAP usage and utility in the bridge still stands, though :) Also, this brings up another (...) (24 years ago, 22-Aug-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build)

Kevin, the black supports to the right of my rail ferry were actually standard monorail supports under the monorail line that paralleled the bridge. You are correct, however, in stating that Wayne did use temporary supports (Znap) under his (...) (24 years ago, 22-Aug-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build)

Kevin A slight correction - Wayne did have some temporary Znap supports that were in place while he was connecting the "cables". The monorail stanchions(sp?) in the picture are just that. You can see the monorail track parallel to Wayne's bridge. (...) (24 years ago, 22-Aug-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build)

(...) These towers were gone once the bridge was in operation: I suspect they were just holding the deck up at the correct level while Wayne was attaching the strings.

I have noticed that box cars and hoppers (not all but a lot of them) are the same height as engines, flat beds with truck trailers are a bit higher, double stacks are a bit higher, autoracks are a bit higher, and tanks are a bit lower. So where do (...) (24 years ago, 22-Aug-00, to lugnet.trains)

I would be willing to bet that if your group made a concentrated effort, you could get the other 400 meters from the train heads on Lugnet and the occassional ebay lot. Blue track is not in high demand like the gray track is. Mike Reinhard "Ben" (...) (24 years ago, 22-Aug-00, to lugnet.trains)

I've been having another play with my coal unloader. I finally figured out why the chain drive multiplexer didn't work repeatably...I was pulling so far above the slide point that it was tipping the moved motor. So, back to a 2 moving motor style a (...) (24 years ago, 22-Aug-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.robotics)
