brickbuilder711 Posted June 9, 2024 Posted June 9, 2024 Hi all, It's been a long time since I have done a proper train model... Saw a swing bridge at a friend's HO layout and thought - oh, what if I decide to do one in LEGO - and here we have a functioning swing bridge in L-Gauge! It uses one of my several on-hand Mindstorms-based motors from the early RCX sets. The PF wires tie in perfectly with these, to a spare battery box that operates the bridge in turn key fashion. In principle, 9V wiring and a transformer should work too. I posted a video showing the functionality of this. Hopefully it serves as a source of inspiration in case any of you are contemplating adding river scenes to your LEGO cities. Enjoy! Quote
ivanlan9 Posted June 9, 2024 Posted June 9, 2024 Nice! I especially like the prototypical speed at which it rotates. Looks good too! Quote
JopieK Posted June 10, 2024 Posted June 10, 2024 Very nice @brickbuilder711, it could even double as a turntable :) Quote
zephyr1934 Posted June 11, 2024 Posted June 11, 2024 Great work, I bet it will look sharp once it is integrated into your layout Quote
JHS_NL Posted June 11, 2024 Posted June 11, 2024 This looks great! Would indeed also be able to double as a turntable. Great build! Quote
