Question about building an N-Scale Bascule Lift Bridge

[bbobes327]

Hi everyone, new to the forum here so I was hoping someone can help with some tips.

Are there any rolling lift bridges available from any N Scale retailer, (Kato, Atlas, Faller, etc)???

If not, does anybody have advice on how to make a manually operated (not motorized) two track rolling lift like this one here?

Man I know there was one made a longggggggggg time ago I want to say by AHC or something like that best bet is hit the swapmeets everyonce in awhile you'll see it on flea bay and you'll pay dearly for it .
Out of the names listed I think Faller would be your best bet,good luck keep me posted.

I remember him from year ago he a Builder Service not kit or plan and it would cost 20x more to buy .when you can make and build any bridge from Ralph sexton for only $5.00 in wood and around $15.00 in evergreen styrene strip
