Regarding the bridge:
How do you disconnect the rail when it's time to raise the bridge?
the rails on the lift span are not connected to the rest of the
rails.  there is a separate power connector run to the rails on the lift
span.  since the rails are not connected, there slopes on the sides to help
keep the rails aligned when the lift span is lowered.  if the tracks are
not level and aligned you can have a derail on the bridge.



And you have waaay to many black technic beams :)

yeah, that was a luck ebay purchase!  i'm totally out of black 1 x 16
technic bricks and black 1x plates.  you can never have to many lego bricks.

For David's second version, he had to modify the ends of the track connectors so (...) (22 years ago, 16-May-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.trains)
