Starting the bridge; part 2

Hi all,

Well, the bridge is already on its way. Here some pictures.

Parts:


Base:



Base with turn plate:


Bearing of Delrin:



Instead of 2 parts it will get 1 (because it will be 1-track):


The parts that will build the connecting pieces between the bridge side halves:



Sorting out the side halves:



First halve. 2 pieces make 1 halve bridge side piece:


2 connected to the middle piece:


One side ready, one to go:


Connecting top rods:


And mounted:


Both sides ready:


Now work starts with the bridge floor. It has to be made smaller from 2-track to one track. So the cross pieces has to be shortened with a saw:


Using 2 restpieces to line up the new shortened piece:


2 modified with one original:


Set of 5 for one halve floor:


The Trumpeter saw I use for this modification:


Mounting the new pieces:


To one half floor:


 Almost ready:


And both pieces ready to mount:


The mounting piece:


Glued to one halve:


And the second piece, ready to be glued to the first:



And the mockup looks like this. I am satisfied!:




The end piers:




And a module mockup with the bridge:



Right side with the short bridge:


Middle where one of two Central valley bridges will come:


Left where the second Central Valley bridge will be:


Overview with closed and opened bridge:



And the idea drawn in:


More to come!
