New Bridge for the free Factory I received!
Posted by smcgill on Wednesday, September 11, 2013 5:06 PM

So I get this factory from a fellow club member. It took a while to place it. Now how do I get to it?

 

 

 

So why not a bridge! It doesn't have to be to tall It will have to encompass a switch.

So this is what I came up with to span a dry wash!

 

 

 

 

 

So I made the bridge added 4 switches and a couple sidings and a runaround all for this free Factory! Oh well it was fun to build and plan!

Ain't it grand how the free stuff costs what it does?

Got a free hydraulic winch for the front of my 4WD it cost $1,350.00 to mount it!!

Don't believe everything you think!

It was fun to plan and build ...isnt that the point? I like it looks great.

When I read about the evils of drinking I quit reading.

I was going to say that you were brave to put a turnout on top of a bridge, and then I realized it will allow most debris to fall through. Good job.

Well done, Sean. Love the factory. Has the perfect look to it. Your bridge idea was the right way to go considering the area you're working with.
