(bridge made out of flattened copper plumbing pipe and HO rails)
Ok I see the switch, where is the throw ?
The head is gray, hands don't work , back is weak, legs give out, eyes are gone, money go's and my wife still love's Me.
The throw (both) are to the right (I cropped in on one of the photos as it's dark outside now); you need good eyes to see them as ballast is piled up near them. Simple brass throw in copper housing with brass rod attached to points.
OK I forgot you make your own throw's, way better then the one's that come with aristo or LGB great job.

I under stand using HO rail to simulate 40 lb rails.
Please explain using flatten copper plumbing pipe to make the bridge.
thanks all; maybe need to change the misleading title to 8 photos
Here are throws, made from copper plumbing parts and brass tubing A variation…First, you need copper plumbing pipe, sledge and anvil and some solder and HO rails.flatten pipe with sledge and solder rails. JB weld fills in any gapspaint with primer and rust color. The girders are nailed to a wood frame, atop which is hardiboard and then ballast and trackwhen spring floods (from house roof drainpipe) come, your bridge should do just fine
Hi there,
Very creative! A lot of work but the results sure look well worth it. Thanks for sharing. Later eh...Brian.
