I hear you, my carpenty skills are limited to keeping all my fingers when i use the saw. [:D] But really , i work in o-scale and my layout is in a smaller room and i have two removable bridges that i fassioned out of atlas pratt truss bridge kits. As for simple, i simply built the corect height pier for the bridge to sit on, and the correct height pier next to that for the track to line up. THen i simply use the rail joiners and slide them back, set in bridge, slide them forward. And bang, you wave a well set in bridge that requires no wiring. I've been running a variety of heavy trains over this baby, a k-line hudson pulling 10 heavyweight weaver passenger cars. No problem at all. THe one i'm working on now is a shadow box drop in, which holds the bridge, piers, and landscape in a 8 inch wide times 38 inch long box. Again i'm simply using the rail joiners to complete the circuit. Since my layout is small it is reall no power drain. Also i used some lag bolts and nuts to help level the shadow box to the layout. If you ahve any questions e-mail me at crossracer1001@aol.com Good luck Bill
