Title: N-scale bridges
Post by: bcromett on December 04, 2011, 01:03:21 PM
I am a beginner planning a layout a would like bridges over a creek. I am using Bachmann EZ Track  and need to know if your bridge #46905 is designed to snap together with standard N-scale EZ track and what is the length of this bridge?

This 5" long bridge can be joined to E-Z track, but the only mechanical connection will be through the rail joiners.  If you are building a permanent layout, you may also want to modify the end of the E-Z track roadbed to eliminate the clips on the end of the roadbed.

I see this bridge is open at the top.  This allows another possibility for its use.

Some bridges are "ballasted deck" bridges.  As the name implies, a ballasted deck bridge carries ballast as well as track.  To model this, just use your EZ-Track as is and run the whole piece the length of the bridge.
