I'm in the process of building a upper level on my layout (using fastrack). I'm using the Lionel piers (6-12038) and want to use a bridge. What bridge should I use? I found a Lionel bridge (6-37900) but I like the MTH bridge with the Christmas lights (40-1115). Not sure which would be better to use.

Are you using fastrack or tubular track. If using Lionel fastrack, be sure the track plastic roadbed fits into the bridge track space, before purchasing the bridge of your choice.

Fastrack. I forgot to mention that. You know the spacing on the bridge by chance?
Would there be a height different between the track and the MTH 40-1115 bridge?
The space for track on the MTH bridge is 2.5", maybe 2.75 " if some will fit under the walkway that is on both sides. I used Gargraves with a cork roadbed to bring it up to Fastrack height.
