My daughter has Tech Ed class in 6th grade. Each student had to build a bridge out of wood and then see how much weight it could hold before it would fail and break. When my daughter put the weight maximizer on her bridge it maxed out the weight limit at 1,000 pounds without breaking. The teacher thought the machine was broken so they tried it again and it maxed out the 2nd time without breaking the bridge, which is very uncommon. Then they tried another students bridge and the bridge broke at 430 pounds, which proved the machine was in working order. The teacher said he had not seen this happen in a very long time.
My daughter asked if her bridge could be a part of the layout. I was thrilled at the idea and it is the perfect size for O gauge. And this is what I absolutely love about doing this hobby. Doing it together with both of my kids. I would have never gotten involved in this hobby without them.
We are going to the store tomorrow so she can paint it her favorite color... Teal.
