[Steamtrains]

OK....To prevent the movable section from coming down and "wiggling" a bit, I used 1/4" steel rod pins on the lift-out, and 1/4" brass tubing in the fixed sections into which the pins slide. That way there is NO movement or misalignment once the lift out is in place. I suggest you do something similar to make sure the movable section comes down in the same spot EVERY time. I presume the bridge is pretty well fixed, so look for a way to make the matching track in the fixed section pretty much immovable. The tracks should line up without the need for rail joiners.

Here's a few pics...

I hope some of this helps...
