Anyone ever see a trestle/ bridge like this? It is all metal, locks together with pins kind of like track, and has folding legs!

No havent seen that before. Thanks for sharing.
It came in a box full of prewar tinplate O gauge Lionel trains, including 2 manual turnouts, 2 reversable turnouts, a whole mess of track, a 1668 engine & tender, and a tanker, baby ruth box car, caboose & power pack! Also a crossing gate.

The engine needs the 2 pickup shoes, and the tender needs a rear coupler, and the truck reattached.
You have a Viaduct that was made for use with Flex-I-Track. You have two switches that were made for Flex-I-Track. They are reversible if you flip them over, so they can become either a left or a right hand switch.

Thanks for the response! is the Flex-I-Track the track that rolls up? Is this a Lionel product?
Yes the Flex-I-Track is the track that rolls up. These are not Lionel products. I tried to use some Flex-I-Track years ago on soft carpet. The locomotive sank down kind of like someone trying to walk on a pool cover.
ok, I wonder if the Viaduct will work with Lionel hi rail track!
Do to the up and down curves on the viaduct sectional track will not work very well. The Flex-I-Track curved up and down as well as from side to side.
Lee,
You got yourself a real nice Tin Plate find, fix her up and have a ball running her.

I finally got some of the flex track & will get out the trestle and see how it works!
Let us know how it works.
Yeah I've seen a similar one... We have one like it downtown.
