WHAT ARE YOUR WISHLISTS FOR NEW BRIDGES

Bridgeboss JimOGR Forum Member MEMORIALIZED MEMBERDIGITAL SUBSCRIBER

We are in the process of eliminating some of the slow moving or unpopular bridges and structures that I make and adding some new types of bridges. In addition we are expanding the more popular bridge families with more options and addons. At the recent York meet I was asked to consider making several new types of bridges.

What i need from fellow Forum members are your WISHLISTS as to what type or style of bridges you would like for your layout or club. These bridges and or structures can be of existing real bridges that i can re-create and adapt for our model train hobby.

Please let me know your wishlist and ideas.

thanks,

I have wanted a Hel* Gate Bridge about half the size of the Lionel and MTH ones. These take up too much space. I'd like to be able to use it on a flat surface, like the Lionel one.

Hi Alan. Yes, I did originaly post this on the the 3-rail a couple days ago which kinda died out fast. I thought it might do better on this sub-forum.

Hi Joe. I do have a family of Hellgates which are of coarse my version. There are two basic sizes 24 and 38 inch which are available in many widths and they lite-up at the top of each tower.

A lot of people use lift up bridges to gap walk through aisles. Rather than a lift style what about recreating one the swing bridges RR's haved used. The bridge can pivot at one end so instead of lifting it out of the way one can simple push it.
