Why a pivoting / rotating bridge for a model railway in H0

About :
A swing-out bridge is a bridge whose bridge part rotates (swings) around a vertical axis. It is also generally referred to as a rotating bridge. This type of bridge is particularly popular among model railroaders in the USA and UK. In Germany, this type of construction is less common. It makes it possible to build a circular system along the wall in a room and to guide rail traffic past the door without blocking the escape route, for example. The movable part of the bridge usually swings on a central axis of rotation or at a fixed point, creating an opening through which you can easily go in or out of the room. One of the most common forms of bridge is probably a folding and/or removable bridge. In most cases, you can find videos online where the builder cuts a kind of arc (radius based on the length from the central pivot point to the stop and diagonally to the width of the bridge/track board) into the track. This prevents the bridge from jamming at the bridgehead. I preferred a diagonal cut. I wanted to mention that here, as the video doesn't cover this point. In addition, the pivot point of the bridge is inside my system, exactly the width of the bridge. This means that the door can be opened completely and the bridge is held in the system leg by a magnet and doesn't get in the way. On the way to completion, I received important tips from 2 YouTubers. Firstly: @MobaOpa, who came up with the idea for the rotating bridge, and @Suedbahnler, who advised me to add more bracing to the bridge, as the first design hung pretty limply on the hinge. Thank you both very much. Apart from that, all I can say is: enjoy the video and I look forward to your comments and questions. Best wishes from Cologne, Steve #modelrailwaysystem
