Greetings from TN. I am also building a new layout in HO gage. I am in the process of building a lift bridge as a passage to enter my layout. The bridge is 3' long and carries 3 tracks. The bridge will raise and lower with the operation of a power window motor from an early chevy. Once lowered, the bridge aligns itself in male and female "V" blocks. These blocks also carry the 12VDC. The bridge will carry 2 tracks above and 1 track below. My main benchwork will stand at 48" high and drop 6" max. My goal is not to exceed A 2% grade change. My room is 22' by 32' with no windows or doors to obstruct my layout.
