Ross deck girder bridge | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Anyone have this bridge (which is also used in their turntable)? I am thinking of using one as a lift out bridge to span a utility room door, and would need to figure out the electrical contacts. Steve at Ross thinks its sturdy enough to be handled on and off.

Thanks.

Paul~

I have thought of using contacts for a similar application.

I saw some auto door contacts that would possibly work.

Some type of alignment pins, would be needed but could delete need for wires.

I take it you mean the ones pictured, but in a longer length?

Thanks all, yes Terry, I think that is the bridges Ross sells.

They're nicely built bridges and quite sturdy. Beware stabbing yourself on the handrail extensions!

Mine are too short to be sure how a heavy train going over a 24-30 inch one used unsupported across a doorway might be.
