I see . . .

OK here's a few and like I said it isn't too fancy. I may detail it out differently sometime down the road but for now it hides the bridge pretty well.

Notice it is slightly offset -- not 100 percent happy with that but it was a concession to the way the bridge was mounted to the table top. I may open up the track wall a bit on either side so as to center things up.

Reverse angle.

More in a minute.

Different angle -- the top panels are covered in tile to finish the top of the bridge off in a smooth fashion.

The bottom of the span is open and extends below the bottom of the sensors to protect them.

No, don't ever tell her but Carol is smart as a whip, but artistic talent is not her strong point lol..I think maybe it should get sideswiped and I can go .. Gee sorry sweetie.. guess we better repaint it.. lol...

I'm sure the C5R and C6 aren't too far away, the main thing I'm hoping AW will address is the out-of-round rims on the cars. Like they say in the tune-up thread, "Get the basics right first." . A lot of people I talk to who aren't hip to tweaking cars tell me how bad the cars hop and wobble when they run, but I show them what to replace or tweak to get them running smoother.
