…...................…………........--- High Bridge Part 6 ---

=========================================

Continuing on with the ‘High Bridge’ design, printing and assembly and finally coming to an end.

Above are the three towers for the trestle. All designed with non-commercial Fusion and printed with a $200 AnyCubic Photon M resin printer.

I want it to be fairly easy to remove the trestle and the supporting towers from the layout when needed, like now when I need to finish the scenery by them. The first two towers sit on and are pinned to the footers under them. The footers stay in place and those two towers sit on the footers and are located by them.

This last tower only has two legs. It pins to the footers under it but with no horizontal stability would fall over. Two locators were designed and glued to the top of the tower. The tower is held in place and the trestle lowered onto it. The locators then wrap around the bottom of one of the trestle’s cross-members and keep the tower from moving horizontally (see next two images).

The trestle and supporting towers lift off in a minute that that will slow down some when the tracks are put into place.

Painted the towers with a first coat and will come back later and weather them some.

Continuing the foam board scenery under the towers….more to come on that.
