I have that bridge as well and I really like it.  The mod I made was to put toggle switches on each side of the bridge permitting me to lower / raise it from inside or out.  With 3 levels, the hand held controller did not cut it.  Unfortunately my basement ceiling is relatively low so the 4th level will not utilize the bridge. My only issue was having 19 track junctions that needed to be lined up to the stationary part of the layout.

My next mod is dual switches.  I'm going to do it with relays so I can have a positive interlock in case some fool tries to go up when I'm going down.  In that case, you'd be shorting the 110V, not a good thing!  I need them as my lift-gate is four feet wide, my arms aren't that long.

Great idea ! you should have dug out the basement floor a bit right under the walk through. Then you wouldn't need the noggin protectors. LOL

 Uhh... NO WAY!  That sounds like a lot of work!
