QUOTE: Originally posted by jeffrey-wimberly The way I tackled the problem of a bridge on a curve was to just pitch the track deck that came with the kit. I scratch-built my own curved track deck from craft sticks which you can get at Wal-mart. These look like popsicle sticks. Once it was built, I secured it in place with hot glue. I then heated the bridge sides (it's a plate girder bridge) and bent it at the joints where each plate comes together, so it looks like a series of straight plates welded in a curve. I then hot glued these to the bridge deck, leaving enough clearance for my biggest locomotives and rolling stock to clear. I even went so far as to install guard rails on the track for that extra bit of effect.

QUOTE: Originally posted by scubaterry I had a similar question a while back. I got several good ideas the best being using a double track bridge and use it as a single track. You would have enough room (depending on curve rad) to curve your flextrack . Terry[8D]
