Haven't seen much talk on the forum about the new Extended Truss Bridge Lionel had at York.
I thought it was very cool how you can use the existing FasTrack girder bridges leading up to the pier and large bridge. And how the big bridge can be configured to lift out.
What do others think?

The lift out concept is what attracted me to ordering one. I was extremely pleased to see that the structure is metal with only a few decorative cross pieces made of plastic.
Unfortunately, delivery is now by the end of the year.

Hey guys, sorry for the delay on shipping on these. Its my fault. Samples arrived 2 weeks before York and when we were assembling them I realized that when we started the project we had not conceived the Fastrack girder bridges. I did not want to ship these bridges with them being incompatible with the girder bridges, so we are having the non bridge top half pier tool modified so the width of the opening accommodates the girder bridges. If for no other reason, its just too darn cool! So, apologize for the delay in shipping, but we are very adamant about shipping this product 100% correct on the first go.
You will not be disappointed when these bad boys ship! (This has been one my pet projects from the beginning. Anyone who ever came to the Ohio service department would have likely seen this bridge, and I'm talking 7 years ago!)
Thanks,
Mike
To Mike at Lionel-- are there any solutions for the new girder bridges which seem to have a problem conducting current?
