Lionel 6-22972 Bascule Bridge-Reliable or Finicky? | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Bob KazianOGR Forum Member

I'm considering a purchase of the Lionel Bascule bridge that was made in 1998.

Is this operating bridge a reliably operating bridge or is it's operation finicky requiring attention to make it perform well?

Any special tips to make it work, as designed?

The one I'm looking at is new in a sealed box.

Had one set up on my apartment layout for several years, and never noted any finicky behavior. (actually had both the silver/green and the black versions set up at various times, and I don't think either one gave me a problem)

It does make noise, but that's to be expected. The Post War issues with the spring do not (to the best of my knowledge) exist in any way on this piece.

Good luck.
