Hi folks,
So i am working with lionel o gauge fast track and my idea is to have a complete circle. I am looking at running O-96 curves a complete outer circle so i can run the big boys and such. However i have a lift up gate constructed but wanted some ideas on how to build my track across it so it basically is able to lift up when i need it to and drop back in place. How would you get the track close enough and make it so it won’t derail the trains going across it? I know this is a precise thing to do but just some ideas or something to get me in the right direction would be really helpful. I added 2 pictures of the lift out area
