Eric, thanks for the review of what should be a very popular product. With the straight cut ends, it also appears that one could string a few of these together if needed. One question; does this bridge have the height clearance for one standard gauge track (tubular or LCT realtrax) w/ engine and cars?
I'd like to know the answer as well; the ad states a 7-inch clearance, but it doesn't specify if that is height or width.
Thanks
John

Clearance refers to the height. Two pieces of Lionel fastrack roughly measures 6 & 5/8 inches wide with roadbed's touching. So NO, two pieces of Fastrack with 6 inches center-rail to center-rail spacing will not fit because the bridge's description states it is 8 inches wide and it would need to be at least 9 & 3/8 inches or so. It does look like a nice bridge, though.
