Are you looking for a scenic element, like those above or you looking for a lift gate to make a passageway into your layout?
Good luck,

I am using the Scherzer rolling lift span for the channel on my approximation/ my version of the Galveston, Texas causeway.
The prototype bridge there was a big bascule truss. When I rode a train over this causeway in 1991, I noticed the span raised as soon as we crossed it. It is normally kept up for boat traffic, except when a train needs it. I haven't motorized my model yet, but I plan to operate it like that. Keep it raised most of the time, lower only for train. Make operation of the bridge an "event." (I can't realistically run a ship through the resin water to have an excuse to open it.) I plan on NOT having continuous running of trains round and round my layout, but make each arrival or departure of a train per the Island Seaport an "event."
Here's a real cute little fella:
Tyco was the last to sell it, I think.

Is this to be a scenic element, or a table element to let people into the room?
Or Both?
If a scenic element, you apparently want it to be functional. LION will build such a bridge over the Gowanus Canal, but it will be for the road, not the rail, and in case of LION will not be functional, but otherwise prototypical. It will fit under the railroad bridge.
