Family Vehicle Partially Destroys Garage Door Mainline

In this video, I am replacing the damages that have occurred from the car's passenger side rear view mirror hitting the main line and wiping out a portion of the bridge on the garage door.

Wait… you put a lift section on your garage door??
This never occurred to me… you may have just given me the singular solution that brings my garage layout back to life!!

Ive seen it all now for lift out sections but yours is awesome the best i ever seen and very innovated to,,,thanks for sharing

[@chaostrain1927]

Attaching it to the garage door, genius, pure genius.

[@blakrootz]

Thank you. When it finally was completed, my wife was amazed by her car and my car still fit inside the garage.

I was going to write ingenious, but that’s been taken… Incredible, so creative! I’m an O-goauger and how you managed that with those tiny tracks is simply beyond belief!💪🏽

[@blakrootz]

Thanks. I'm literally trying to use every possible opportunity available in my garage to expand my layout.

[@bhigdaddymark]

INGENIOUS! THIS is why YOU'RE a modeller and I'm just a model railroading enthusiast that likes to run trains versus building anything for now. Wow, you just solved what might've been a big problem for those with garage layouts. Excellent! Have been subscribed since I saw your Bart videos years ago and BTW, Rapido is releasing a new Bart set soon I think. Bravo to you!

[@blakrootz]

Thanks Mark. Yes, I remember you bro. I have the Rapido BART Trains on pre-order. I plan to make a video when I get them, but I will need to customize a few things on them prior to.

That's a awesome idea, the biggest lift up gate for a model railroad I have ever seen 😊
Thanks for sharing

Garage door mainline. What an innovative solution.

[@blakrootz]

Please see my earlier videos for more ideas on the construction of garage door bridge. Hope it works well for you also. Thanks for viewing.

[@georgiasunbelt]

Ouch to the layout…that is one the most creative ideas I’ve ever seen 👊🏽👍🏽

[@blakrootz]

Thank you

Very nice video and a very good solution

[@blakrootz]

Thanks good sir.

I'm just curious. Did you have to adjust the power at the back of the lift motor to accommodate the extra weight on the door? My garage door is 25 feet wide, custom aluminum built. When I added the foil garage door panels to insulate the garage door I had to adjust the lift motor for more power to offset the added weight. If you look into the foil panels for your garage door you might solve some of that track expansion.

[@blakrootz]

Thanks, but no, I didn't make any adjustments to the power. I did; however, add another support beam to the last panel for a bracket to support the curve. Lastly my garage door is 16 feet wide. I think the panels you are suggest will help adjust the temperature, but I'm okay with the breeze that comes in for the time being. Thanks for the suggestion and thanks for viewing.
