thanks !   Lionel made a 106 bridge with two  ramps anyone ever tried to use a 256 on them  I read maybe some engines  the cow catcher  gets caught on it  thanks

Most of the longer wheel bases don't handle the approaches well at all. Folks tend to incorporate just the main bridge section into the layout so it's a straight level run over it. Even when running the smaller locos such as a #150 with two cars, the loco tends to slip on the uphill. You can shim the approaches to help but doesn't look quite right IMO
