@jakimson1994 Assuming you have the Walther's kit and not trying to scratch build the bridge, the plastic portion of the bridge is easy, it's the gears and electrical switching that you must take your time on and get right.

No, it is installed on the owner's layout.

I just built it for him.

This is a Walther's H.O. Scale bridge.

These things are going for 300 plus dollars right now. I really wish Walthers would start making this model again.

I saw several of these bridges in Chicago! Now, that is My Kind of Town! Trains everywhere!

Very neat bridge. I am going to buy one for my layout

[cmallport]

Heel Trunion Bascul Bridge or Strauss type:) I want to write my master's thesis about movable bridges but here in Poland we have only a few exaples of such movable structures :/

Sweet!

I bet you could disguise the motor noise with a sound decoder placed inside.
