Turntable for boats

A Big Thanks to you, McGillicutty for a very enjoyable and informative topic post.
I enjoyed checking out the shipyard's website and as I was doing it I remembered that a former housemate of mine came from Vancouver Island so I liked the synergy.
Members and lurkers who model lift bridges maybe interested to read the hours of operation details for Victoria Harbour and note the lock out hours due to peak hour vehicle traffic. I thought that information could make for interesting operating wrinkles.
Also a somewhat belated welcome to Big Blue from me. Welcome

The sad thing is that we have lost our rail bridge connection to downtown. They have just recently removed the rail bridge of the soon to be replaced Johnson Street Bridge (the Blue Bridge). See info at http://Johnsonstreetbridge.org. The new bridge does not have a rail span planned for it. At this point passenger rail service on Vancouver Island is suspended until major track repairs can be made along the whole line. Sad that more emphasis is being placed on building a brand new LRT line rather than refurbishing and reusing the existing rail lines.
