Bruce Hansen’s Bascule Bridge
Bruce Hansen writes: This is the Bascule Bridge model from an #8 1/2 set manual. There’s a mix of parts vintages with this set, 1935-37 P51 motor and girders/base plates from the 1950’s. The bridge has a basket in the rear for adding weight to balance the bridge.
Gary Wood’s Lift Bridge
Gary writes: This bridge is modeled after the lift bridge located at the entrance to Duluth Harbor from Lake Superior in Duluth, MN. I made it from extra pieces I have from incomplete sets but I did not alter any pieces. It was a lot of fun to build and it’s fun to show it off to friends.
