[MOC] Richmond Triple Crossing / Modular Bridge

[Electricsteam]

Here is a mega project I have completed recently for our LUG's RVA Brick Day event

It's a modular bridge designed for quick assembly for events!

Its 2 major pieces,    a straight section with rails attached and a leg section that used jumper plates for a loose but stable connection

The curves are transported separately assembled.

Here is is at RVA brick day,

The yellow line is about 12 feet with a PUP tram running back and forth on a color sensor

 

 

Here is some more images of it in set up.

 

 

 

 

Ashland Train day!,  Working on getting the red line ready to be attached to Andy's 3 Era's Mega display for the next go around,  One big continuous mega city is the dream.

Glad to see you're still alive and kicking! The bridge is really awesome and impressive, plus I'm also pleased to see the atomic engine is still around. (Did you ever get those running issues ironed out with that one?)

I hope to see more of your builds around these parts - you are an amazing builder and I always look forward to seeing what you make @Electricsteam!

On Rev4 now,   1 PUP motor and it eats batteries like nothing else, but it doesn't derail anymore so its pretty great. Prolly gonna just go back to having the PF motors in it tho   Also redid the lights in it to be more professional.   I'll post pics of it later

Wow,  this image says much more than many words ... beautiful structure, elegant and robust!

Great job!

Brilliant work! That's a very practical solution, I like the flexibility, especially with the open loop running on the yellow line. I also spotted all sorts of interesting trains in the photos, you've been busy without posting. The latter is not a complaint, life tends to make everyone busy, but whenever you have time it would be interesting to see what you've been up to with rolling stock.

Most of the trains in the pics @Electricsteam posted are by builders in the LUG he and I are in, as far as I know he and I are the only LUG members on here as well @zephyr1934. The green atomic “steam” loco belongs to electricsteam, the rest are other members of the LUG.

@Andy Glascott makes sense, still looks interesting and it would be neat to see layout photos of your shows that include some of these MOCs or would they be TOCs (their own creations)

What about the long gray train, who's is that and do they have images of it up anywhere?

The bridge system looks great!

A couple of pics of recent RVALUG train events that @Electricsteam and I participated in - our annual club show and Ashland Train Day. We do a collaborative city/train layout each year at both and they are the two main events I haul my growing layout to. (Sorry it's taken a while to add them @zephyr1934.) @SD100 the long grey train is another member's, I haven't found pics of it anywhere else but it's based on the train in Snowpiercer.

The day before Ashland Train Day this year our layouts were featured on local TV as part of the promotional stuff for the event, if anyone is interested here's the link -

Image links not working - corrected eventually

@Andy Glascott your pictures aren't showing up for some reason. I don't know why.

[Andy Glascott]

Thanks @Murdoch17, will have a look in a moment

Anyone else running into issues with Flickr? I've replaced the links in the post above a few times, tried different sizes, no avail... My photostream is here, the two images above are the first two in it.

BB Code no longer works (for me at least). Had to grab the actual image URL from the BB code, and then use the forums "Other Media" dropdown box in the editor to get those pictures displayed.

[Andy Glascott]

Success! Thanks @Phil B

Thank you for sharing.

That's beautiful

The TV interview was great. The layout is top notch and it looks like it was a fun show.
