Description

A vintage Lionel Train 313-46 Bascule Bridge from the 1940s. The Bascule Bridge was a carry over accessory from the pre-war era. Lionel would, however, make some changes in the way the bridge was raised and lowered. In the pre-war version the bridge would be raised by a series of gears attached to the motor. But in this post-war version the bridge is raised by a spring drive and there were changes to the bridge itself to accommodate this drive. Another way to tell the difference is by the bridge itself. Pre-war versions are painted GRAY or SILVER sheet-metal, while post-war versions are unpainted SILVER aluminum. This bridge would stop the train automatically in insulated track sections placed on either side of it when the bridge was in the raised position.

This bridge shows typical rust and corrosion as shown in the photos, that is consistent with it's age and use. It has not been tested.
