gunrunnerjohn posted:My new layout will have the Mianne lift-bridge, and it'll make access to the center of the layout much easier, especially as flexibility starts to wane in my later years. However, I have identified an issue with the bridge, specifically the hazard to my head! If you're under the bridge and misjudge the height as you duck under, you can whack your head on the I-beams. The edges are actually very sharp and square, and I have a couple of cuts on my noggin to prove it. I considered rounding the edges, but that would only be a partial solution, so I dropped into my local Lowe's store and picked up some 1/2" split pipe insulation. A perfect fit, and a nice padded place for my head to land on, no more cuts!
If you have the Mianne lift-bridge, I recommend this solution, it works!
I was going to suggest this to you as I too had a couple good cuts to my head. Only thing was it wasn't till the wife hit her head I did anything. DOUBLE OUCH! form her and the lift!
