v2 is capable of handling double track main line on the upper deck, unlike the
real one where the Key System trains ran on the lower deck 'till the 50's.

Red button at midspan (Rt handside) tower causes roadway collapse a-la '89
earthquake.

Its 10 ft. long, and the upper deck is 30" above the floor. LOTS of old gray
technic 1x12s and 1x6 plates!

UP on brickshelf gets you prototype pics, and some earlier attempts.

Enjoy,
Mark

(...) Hi Mark, great bridge! It looks good in white. Now all you need is a floating crane to put beside it when the roadway (railway?) collapses... ROSCO (18 years ago, 12-Mar-07, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.technic)

Hey coolness, I like the way you built that. Also, having grown up in the Bay Area, I can't tell you how many times I have been across the Bay Bridge! So, it is all the more fun to see, thank you! -Eric (18 years ago, 12-Mar-07, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.technic)
