Nice work.
The split ring, Allen-screw-tightened onto each long "spider", makes sense.
Is there a washer between each wheel and the big ring?
Wait...saw washer tops after careful eyeballing of the pics.
Never mind.
Looks like it rained there.

That looks great! I hope somebody will post a video of the spider being turned before the bridge is set in place and it's covered up. I bet the bridge will turn smooth as silk!

Well, the spider moved hard by hand, but when you set a bridge on it...
I have a video of the wheels, but am having trouble uploading it..

Here is a short video. The bridge was moved from one track to another to check clearance.

Really looking good. Have you decided on some type alignment plate/lock device for the bridge?

I think I see a big grin on Jason's face.
Proper-looking north-bound shot.
