Rod, thank you for the response. I'll do some research and see if we can do something simple for our group. Is this bridge going to be at the "Indy" show? We'll see maybe I can get to your groups' next event.

Thank you for the information,

Jim J

Jim,

I don't believe the bridge will make it to the Indy show. But, it will be in New Jersey next monday for the first show with it since the upgrades!

Plenty of pix will be had!!!

Thanks for compliments.

Rod, thank you for the information. I may have to wait for one of the later shows to see this bridge up-close, but I'll get there. What show next Monday? I thought the next show wasn't until early June?

What/which bridge will be at "Indy"?

Thank you, talk to you later,

Jim J

Sorry Jim, I mis-typed! I meant to say 'next month' !!! Next show is in June @ the East Coast Large Cars!

Rod, thank you for the clarification. I'll see how things are going, maybe I'll show up at this next event too! I'm going to see if I can put something together for our small group too. Do you or would your friend Jim have any mesurments? I was thinking that the bridge should be about 22 inches wide, then with the guard railing would probably be 24 inches overall in width. I thought that using 1/4" to 3/8" should be enough to hold several trucks with bracing underneath at about 16" centers. Elevation, 12 to 16 inches clear should do it. Your thoughts?

What about the guard railing, ideas?

Thank you, talk to you later,

Jim

Jim,

I think your measurement concept is spot on! As for the guide railing, ours is all wood... two pieces.
