@pennsyfan posted:Paul, is that able to get around your layout? I’ve got the Lionel machinery car. It was an add on to the machine shop that I don’t have. The car doesn’t clear the bridges! 😡
The answer is yes and no, Bob. I only have one bridge on my layout…
With the bridge up, anything can fit under it. With it down, pantographs have conniptions (don’t ask how I know). However, crossing it is problematic for tall cars (I can’t run double stacked intermodals for example). When I was planning my layout, @leapinlarry was kind enough to point out the height limitations of the lift section, but I just had to use the bridge because it reminds me so much of the Gil Hodges Memorial Bridge!!!
