Lionel 313 Vintage O Silver Operating Bascule Bridge VG

Here is a Lionel 313 Vintage O Silver Operating Bascule Bridge. The bridge raises and lowers by remote activation. The bridge raises up about 12 inches and then goes back down and closes all in one sequence. You can use this bridge across a river which is where you will see the real ones, or you could also be quite imaginative and set this up where another train had to go under it. The bridge has contacts set up so that when it raises, the power to the track in front and behind this are cut-off so you can't run your trains into the river. The bridge came with the steelwork being painted either silver and gray. The prewar versions of this from 1941-42 were painted gray because silver paint was not available. This is the more common silver version.
