Reply to "Question Regarding Lionel Extended Truss Bridge and MTH Elevated Trestle"

SteveHOGR Forum Member SUPPORTING MEMBERDIGITAL SUBSCRIBER

@IC Gulf are you talking about the MTH Elevated Trestles made for RealTrax or the newer version made for FasTrack? Also what type of track would you be using?

I have some of both types of the MTH elevated trestles, the track brackets made for RealTrax are too narrow to go around FasTrack. The clearance height under the bottom of Fastrack fitted into the compatible trestles is 5 3/4" above the (ground/bench top). Height from bench to the top of the rails is 6 11/32" (almost 6 3/8").

Sorry, I don't have the Lionel Extended Truss bridge for comparison. If there's a significant height difference you could fashion shim blocks to go under some of the pier bases to compensate.
