I played with it (the bridge, figure 8 set with battery powered engine, and additional tracks) for a good hour before realizing I was enjoying it more than him! The tracks are extremely durable. My nephew and his brother and sister all loved it.

This bridge is great fun!Apr 18, 2000

This is definitely my 2-year-old son's favourite part of his entire Thomas setup. He will happily spend 20 minutes just pushing his trains back and forth across the Sodor Bridge span. The only letdown with this item was that it did not include the ascending track and risers that are needed to connect it to the rest of the playset - I needed to order those pieces separately, but didn't know that until I opened the Sodor Bridge package. But my son didn't seem to mind - he doesn't really care if the bridge goes anywhere or not!

Love this, but . . .Jun 04, 2000

I bought this accessory for my 2-year-old son Sam, and he loves everything about it except the fact that there is not quite enough top clearance for trains to pass underneath -- You have to set the spans on blocks for that. I also agree that the set should include the ascending track, or at least a notice that it's sold separately.

The Bay bridge is a mustMar 05, 2004
By Melissa Reddy-Tremblay
Starting around age 2 the "World of Thomas" and his train friends became the biggest part of my son's days of play. If you are as deep into Thomas as my family is then the Sodor Bay Bridge is a must have. Hours and hours are spend pushing the toy trains over and under the bridge. Your first three starter purchases should be the trains, the tracks and then this bridge. Good Luck it is an expensive "world" your getting into!!!

The greatest Thomas pieceMay 24, 2005
By T. Tremblay "tammymomofsix"
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.
