I will have to run a few trucks under to see what happens.

BTW I have that video along with a few others saved.

In model railroading, there are between six and two hundred ways of performing a given task.
Most modellers can get two of them to work.

Remove more foam so the whole bridge can fit.

Another test. However I had to remove the roadway because I still needed to do more removal.
