Good afternoon guys <br /> <br />The bridge is not totally complete keep that in mind. I just worked on it last night to get it up and running. Now comes the cosmetic work and the stabilizing work. I will do as one has recommended by adding two pieces of board on the sides to prevent a trip to the floor if a derailment occurs. I may just use plexiglass. As for the kill switch so trains will not go over is a plan I have to now conquer that will require very little matainence. I willpaint it up or stain it so it looks better. I put a brace (2x3) on the bottom of the legs from one side to the other side so that if the layout gets hit it will not knock it off of track and make the bridge warped. Tonight I will actually connect the track to the exsisting layout area and will have full layout function.
