I tried making prototypical bridles (i.e. with bridle rods) but couldn't make things work reliably enough, so I went back to the tried and true method of using I bridle throw bar. For those who want to try this themselves, here is the bridle template I made up in PDF format. This drawing is based on information found in "The New Roadmaster's Assistant".
| The first step is to print the bridle template on label paper, attach to 1/32" aircraft plywood and cut out the slots for PCB ties. |  |
| Insert PCB ties into the slots and solder to rail. While this photograph shows a sample bridle, I prefer to put bridles onto the end of a track run to avoid extra solder joints |  |
