I have also attached the fold down section to the Eastern section of the plant. This will represent an interchange with the LNE which along with the CNJ also serves this plant.
It's all wired in and supported by a hinge and a 2x3 leg to hold the far end up.
The leg attaches to bench work to hold the dropdown in place when not in use, this will avoid any drifting of the section into the aisle.
I have installed two sections of angle iron to help support the dropdown.
Here is a shot of the hinge and a connector that I have wired in to make removal of this section easer if needed.
In the up position it is now ready to use.
