Another bridge, please.

Here is my scratch built vertical lift bridge.

Show me another movable bridge.

Rich

Nice bridge Rich. Maybe a ‘float-bridge’ is a stretch, but it does move when rising and falling with the tide. Show more bridges please. Regards, Peter

How about three bascule bridges.

Show me a large freight house.

Rich

Hadlock Machinery is located in the former New York Central freight house:

Another freight house, please.

I’ve been mostly absent from these forums for a while. I’m surprised there were so few entries in this thread for November and I don’t see a new thread for December yet. In the past, last months thread would have been locked by now. What gives? Has interest in this ongoing subject waning?

There has been a mass migration from this forum since the weekend lockdown a few weeks ago. I fear that the forum is on life support.

Rich

That would explain only 8 entries in Weekend Photo Fun. What was the reason for the lockdown?

Lockdown is probably the wrong word. From about 6 PM on a Friday night until about 10 AM on the following Monday morning, the forum was totally inaccessible. To make matters worse, Kalmbach offered no explanation which caused a number of regulars to swear off the forum.

Rich

Besides the access setback I believe there is mounting frustration over the ‘popup’ ads that are causing grief for those people who use their telephones to access the internet.

It seems these ads overpower the tiny, little screens on these telephones making it difficult to make a response or navigate the site. So, multiple issues, really.

Cheers, Ed
