New Centerpiece's for layout, Lionel Lift Bridges

Jeff, those are quite impressive looking!!  The abutments look great!

Nice job!

Yes, they do.

Thanks gentlemen, NYCJOE, your rusty bridges are awesome love the finish!!

Just a reminder, Those beautiful huge, grey lift bridges were built in South Korea by Samhongsa who was under contract to Mike Wolf. Mike was working with Richard Kughn who had bought Lionel in 1988. Mike was a consultant to Lionel from 1988 until 1993-4 which came to an abrupt end when he started to make his own trains.

awesome bridges

I think many of us are glad Mike Wolf went out on his own and started MTH Trains. It gave some real competition to Lionel and us train operators and/or collectors benefited from it as they both  constantly stepped up their game to compete with the opposite company. Mike is retired now but parts of his company still are going between the scaled down version of MTH, and what Atlas bought to improve their O Gauge selection. Competition is good for us!
