John that is awesome!!! 10 track alignment!!!! WOW!
To answer your question - Absolutely nothing... yet. This was an attempt to see if I could use 3D material and manufactuer the hinges. The track is only there because I am also seeing how the layout transfer from scarm to reality. In scarm the track is actually elevated and so is the bridge. My purpose was feasiblity of making the lift bridge and also getting an idea of function and placement of layout. BTW John the watchdogs are working perfectly which was another reason to start laying some track. Next step is to actually elevate the track on table and to start laying the other main line, spurs, yard, roundhouse... Holy railroad batman there is SO Much to do!!!!
I will be using some alignment pins (not sure what and where) and also have to position and install limit switches for linear actuator.
I have two brass locating pins on the free end to insure precise alignment of the tracks on my freight yard bridge. That's mandatory on mine as there are ten tracks to align!
