1mtvfan wrote:well a lot of fuss and confusion could have been avoided if that was said at the start.
also, if anyone wants to send me and TTFan some more trains stuff of any kind, let us know, but keep in mind that the scale that TTFan and I run is "HO" scale, not any bigger, or any smaller.

TigerTankFan wrote:It will be little bit longer before the trains are running again, but such won't be that long.

1mtvfan wrote:new drop bridge is installed and tracks are in place, just have to power up the outside track, which will happen at some point during the week, but now there are no more break ways on the eastbound line, which is a thrill, WAHOO! and also looking at a new container crane device, as well as a possible kill switch for the drop bridge.picture follows.

Spoiler:

that's pretty much the size of it, but there is now a clamp and a small plank
to keep the high side of the bridge down.
