Jim,
This is a completely new bridge. It is built in sections and assembles/disassembles a ton easier than the previous version. We haul it with the rest of our club gear in an enclosed trailer. It actually transports pretty easily. Jim totally built the bridge out of his creativity. He researched scale bridges on the web and had some ideas before he started to build. He truly is an artist!

Rod, thank you for the response. I'll do some research and see if we can do something simple for our group. Is this bridge going to be at the "Indy" show? We'll see maybe I can get to your groups' next event.
Thank you for the information, Jim J |

Jim,
I don't believe the bridge will make it to the Indy show. But, it will be in New Jersey next monday for the first show with it since the upgrades! Plenty of pix will be had!!! ![]() Thanks for compliments.

Rod, thank you for the information. I may have to wait for one of the later shows to see this bridge up-close, but I'll get there. What show next Monday? I thought the next show wasn't until early June?
What/which bridge will be at "Indy"? Thank you, talk to you later, Jim J Last edited by jjackso5; 05-06-2011 at 09:22 AM. Reason: Clarification |

Rod, thank you for the clarification. I'll see how things are going, maybe I'll show up at this next event too! I'm going to see if I can put something together for our small group too. Do you or would your friend Jim have any mesurments? I was thinking that the bridge should be about 22 inches wide, then with the guard railing would probably be 24 inches overall in width. I thought that using 1/4" to 3/8" should be enough to hold several trucks with bracing underneath at about 16" centers. Elevation, 12 to 16 inches clear should do it. Your thoughts?
What about the guard railing, ideas? Thank you, talk to you later, Jim |
