Thanks for adding the video it really helps with visualizing how each structure fits into the overall scene. Great stuff - I hope there will be more!

I took about 80 Videos on Friday at George's open house with my iPhone 6 and a ALS mCamlite stabilizer mount with video lens and mic. I'm posting them to my YouTube Channel "Doug Kastanotis". Look up my channel and subscribe to it. I think you'll get notifications when I upload new ones? To see only FSM Videos click on the "Playlist" tab then select Fine Scale Miniatures. I just posted another one, Elijah Roth and Sons. Added some music and a titles to this one, trying to learn how to use the iMovie APP.

Before we move on here is a great picture of HookLine & Sinker Seafood taken by Mark Dalrymple.

Unknown photographer, came off Ebay years ago.

As we pass the HookLine & Sinker Seafood Company we come to this bay with a coal barge and a tug ready for duty.  John Sullivan captured this photograph of the area.

Next, we come to my favorite draw bridge. Since we covered this structure early in the thread I will repost my pictures of the South Manchester Lift Bridge here for completeness and then post some new photographs from Mark Dalrymple and John Sullivan.

George got the design idea for this drawbridge from a March/April 1978 Narrow Gauge and Short Line Gazette article written by Brian D. Pate, North Vancouver, B.C., Canada.  I discussed this with George last week.  To quote George " I saw that article and just had to have that structure on my layout".  Here are a few pictures of the article so you can pull it and read the article.  The prototype is The Point Ellice Canadian National Car Ferry Slip
