I had to design a lift out section for my Dad's railway that had to be simple and fool proof. A 1200mm base board was constructed and a 1200mm lenght of track (LGB)laid. This bridge rest's on bearer's at each end , aligned to the correct height, the original fixed rail joiners were removed and new one's that could slide along the rail were fitted. I also feed the power to the track section involved via the bridge so that when the bridge is removed no powered movement of traffic is possible. Therefore to remove the bridge involves sliding back four rail joiners, disconecting a plug and lift. A matter of a few seconds and the track always aligns even after five years use. The only maintenance is to change the rail joiners every year. <br /> <br />Hope this is usefull, Trevor.
