********** Presenting the Bascule Bridge ***************
Now THIS is a cool one, I've got Microbusss envious. You don't see THESE pass through very often, seen them sell on Ebay for 70+. Got a serious deal on this one through a Craigslist ad on Monday, I really SHOULD be turned in to the Bargain Police for stealing these items I got.   Oh well, I'm gonna enjoy them, the seller got more than he asked between two buyers, so he was very happy himself.
This ought to be a fun item to try out, looks like it's never been used at all. The wires are still perfectly coiled up. I may use other wires when I do try it. Leave it as pristine as possible.

| nice one ken but the way the pic on box is I'd think it'd be more easier to daylight than bore a tunnel

very true... but think of the people and animals that can get over the tracks without having to encounter a trespassing fine or entire train.

I don't have a one track mind. It depends on the turn-out.

Is that a power-trip or just another pick-up line?

I bought one in the styrofoam box with the tower and no controller or instuctions for $2.00 at a show about 5 weeks ago. I'm not sure what else is missing.

If you want a copy of the instructions, I will make you a copy if you like. I can hard-copy it or scan it for you to PDF.
