I took this Lionel standard guage 101 bridge I bought on Ebay ;converted it to a double track o guage,added 3 lamp post ,cleaned and repainted. Also converted a Lionel standard guage 280 to a double track o guage. You can just barely see in one of the pics. Bridges were in pretty rough shape when I won them on ebay;they're not that rare so it wasn't like I was ruining a valuable prewar piece.My train collection at that time was solely prewar lionel so I thought the bridges would be fitting on my layout.The 101 bridge spans across an outside door in my train room.I've been considering for some time now whether or not to have the bridge hinged so I can raise it up.I don't really use the door; just open it if the weather is nice outside.Plus I would have to deal with the numerous wires I have running across that area.Hardly seem's worth the effort because of the wire bundle issue.
