First topic message reminder :

that is a matter of discretion, but so far it's been my old house, my current job, and my trains

I suppose. Smile

well, that's how it is working out, but as one project is completed, the next one is dealt with, and so on down the line

Well at least you will be kept busy.

What will this project entail? I mean I know what a drop bridge is but can't you build it off site and simply install it afterward?

by 1mtvfan Sun 08 Mar 2015, 11:46 am

no, the drop bridge has to built on site, but it will be built soon

Why?

by 1mtvfan Sun 08 Mar 2015, 12:07 pm

the bridge is on site, so it will have to be built on site.

So it can't be built off site and moved on site?

by 1mtvfan Sun 08 Mar 2015, 12:29 pm

no, unfortunately it can't be, as the hardware for the drop bridge application is on site

by **Brandon** Sun 08 Mar 2015, 1:04 pm

Application? Does this mean supplies?

by 1mtvfan Sun 08 Mar 2015, 3:00 pm

yes, that's what it means.

by 1mtvfan Sun 08 Mar 2015, 3:58 pm

because it would add more work to the project, and would mean a lot more moving around, which would also add UN-needed time

by **Brandon** Sun 08 Mar 2015, 4:00 pm

Well I guess... I hope we can see a video of the progress soon. Smile

by 1mtvfan Sun 08 Mar 2015, 4:15 pm

there's very little work involved with it at the mo, but if we start moving it around, it means work added unnecessarily, all we have to do is move some table legs back and add soe latches to keep the bridge in place when raised

So what is the order of the Agenda?

by 1mtvfan Sun 08 Mar 2015, 5:17 pm

just install what's left to install and make the adjustments for the drop bridge is all

We hope to have two sets of permanently level track as almost all of the model equipment owned by Charlie and myself have been falling off the tracks at this part of the set-up quite a bit... and we're tired of seeing this happening.

by 1mtvfan Sun 08 Mar 2015, 5:25 pm

either falling off the tracks or breaking apart.

The 1st situation is much more common than the 2nd situation actually.

by 1mtvfan Sun 08 Mar 2015, 5:51 pm

the trains come apart or fall off the track because the train track is often out of level, which is something of a constant fight because of the cement floor underneath the setup

Can the track in question be avoided until work is complete?

by 1mtvfan Sun 08 Mar 2015, 6:03 pm

no, when the trains run, they will be subject to troubles of this nature all the time, so we have to keep fighting with the leveling, as there is little we can do about the temperatures
