I'm building a double deck layout in its own handi-house shed It has a large wide door at the entrance that needs a couple of 'entrance bridges' that can be moved aside relatively quickly. Because of the large width of the opening I am thinking it should be a 'split bridge' type like the bascule type where both of the two sides would swing up.
And it likely needs 3 bridges to carry 3 levels of tracks across the opening,...staging tracks, main level tracks, upper level tracks. Actually the span only needs to be 36" as that will be the width between the side decks at this entrance, even though the shed's door is 42"
Here are a couple of photos of my train shed doorway, (disregard the former cardboard shelf mock ups,...things have changed)
