The Sodor Bay Bridge lets Thomas and his friends cross large bodies of water! Can be used as a single or double span bridge.Editorial Review
Frighteningly high above a deep ravine, Thomas the Tank Engine peers over the edge, wondering how he will get to the station on time. He’s saved only by the immediate construction of a bridge that gets him clickity-clacking across in no time. The Reverend W. Awdry created the Island of Sodor as a place for childhood i… More >>

This bridge is worth every penny. I bought this bridge online (not from amazon.com) and the description said that it didn’t come with ascending tracks, so I bought ascending tracks separately. Well, it turns out that the bridge actually *did* come with a pair of ascending tracks! Also, I bought a male-to-male connector separately because I thought that the 2 bridge pieces could not connect directly to one another, to form one long bridge – once I got the bridge, though, I found that you *can* actually connect the 2 bridge pieces together without using a separate connector..all you have to do is remove one of the supporting blocks (underneath the track) from one of the bridge ends. Each bridge has removable supporting blocks on both ends, so there’s a ton of configurations you can come up with. If you have ascending track risers (which do *not* come with the bridge), you can connect the bridges with regular straight track <- if you do this, you can also put track underneath the connecting straight track so that trains can go underneath the bridge without any clearance problems. So many possibilities with this bridge… Not only that, but the bridge is very sturdy, very well-built. This bridge was such a great buy for me and my son!

This is a nice looking sturdy bridge that my son enjoys playing with. My only complaint is that I needed to repair it out of the box. One of the wooden supports was not fixed to the bridge properly – had to glue it myself. Minor issue but something that should not happen when paying a higher price for the Thomas brand.

my 2yo twin boys are in love with this double-span bridge, which comes with 2 ascending tracks. the only caveat i have is that the two bridge pieces don’t connect to each other (you need a male-male connector to do so, and that isn’t included), and combined, the bridge & ascending track combo is too long for our nilo train table. so we just use the one track, or configure the tracks so that there’s a bridge in 2 separate areas. otherwise the bridge is great – very durable and my boys love it.

I have three boys ages 12,6,and 2 and a half. All three boys enjoy playing together with there many Thomas pieces. This bridge stays together and can be used as a small bridge or both pieces as a large bridge without the two year old knocking it down easily. It makes building a more complicated track fun for the 12 year old without his younger brothers messing it up. A great addition to any set.

We have tons of Thomas wooden railway pieces. I can tell you that this is the one we use in every layout we build. It adds height ands is easy to fit into your layout. Sturdy and colorful too. I like to use it with the arched viaduct for a sturdy raised track that doesnt fall over.
