I hate to say it, but you may want to re-think this design. Any bridge that looks good in HO is going to have lots of small parts. It may be quite strong in place, but somewhat fragile while being installed and removed, not to mention stored. Rather than delicately removing it, sometimes you'll be tempted to duck under. And sooner or later, you'll bump it with your head or something you're carrying. <br /> <br />Something like Hal suggested would be much better long-term. <br /> <br />Another possibility would be a horizontally-hinged section, that can be opened like a gate. It could include a bridge, or just scenery. I built one about 3 feet long, of plywood, but haven't put any scenery on it yet. You'll need some sort of locating mechanism, perhaps magnet catches or a slide bolt, for the open side. And, you can open and close it with one hand, and don't need a secure, protected place to put it!
