<p>    As long as we can have that 40&#8243; gap (4 baseplates) via a couple custom made tables, I can make the bridge work within the tight footprint. If the bridge is on the narrow end, I can forgo the cargo flask platform on the Schanbel and it should be able to fit the R104 curve leading into the tower module.&hellip;<span class="activity-read-more" id="activity-read-more-51287"><a href="https://www.steelcitylug.com/forum/topic/csc-locomotion-weekend-1-16-26-to-1-18-26/page/2/#post-67134" rel="nofollow ugc">Read more</a></span></p>
