RE: Fantastic Knock-Off Bridge - DalaGStanator - 01-29-2016
I do know it isn't Thomas, but I counted it as such because of the theme song, which you want to get rid of (though that's fine with me, as I don't see why they chose that as the soundchip instead of... Sound effects?).

Here is the larger knock off set that looks like the bridge comes with. There might also be another that has it. http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Diamond-3-Layers-4-Kinds-of-Locomotives-Music-Thomas-Train-Track-Rail-Slot-car-toy-Electric/32275567328.html?spm=2114.01010208.3.99.WQQoBC&ws_ab_test=searchweb201556_6,searchweb201644_3_505_506_503_504_301_502_9916_10014_10001_10002_10016_10005_10006_10003_10004_62,searchweb201560_5,searchweb1451318400_6150,searchweb1451318411_6451&btsid=2f321ad9-7ce2-4681-a35d-187f1068da2d

It really does look out of place in a standard Plarail layout with yellow and blue. It looks more like it belongs in a large, lifelike public layout with scenery, and repainted (black/grey) track and risers with ballast and other detail.
Oh, so now I see the reason for the Thomas theme.
RE: Fantastic Knock-Off Bridge - Super - 01-29-2016
Or if you already have tons of gray tracks and gray risers
RE: Fantastic Knock-Off Bridge - Super - 01-29-2016
Here is a picture of the same bridge but with red/orange railings and lamp base pillar caps. Looks nice and I was interested is this one first but glad I have the gray and black one as it goes better with all the gray stuff we have. And if you follow this link and scroll down you will see one with blue railings and pillar caps. http://www.aliexpress.com/item/children-toy-Boy-Electronic-toy-Thomas-TRAIN-Train-Tracks-Toy-Set-LED-Through-Bridge-will-Sing/1414505749.html?spm=2114.01010208.3.126.skOgT8&ws_ab_test=searchweb201556_6,searchweb201644_3_505_506_503_504_301_502_9916_10014_10001_10002_10016_10005_10006_10003_10004_62,searchweb201560_5,searchweb1451318400_-1,searchweb1451318411_6451&btsid=40e676eb-e374-49bf-9549-fa34d892e048

kill that sound with fire!! good grief, thats terrible! looking forward to an "after" video, lol.
RE: Fantastic Knock-Off Bridge - Super - 01-30-2016
Because the bridge actually extents over the end riser/girders and the connecting tracks are recessed into the bridge, gray elevated tracks are a little short. Regular tracks work great but the extended sides of the elevated rails hit the bridge just a tad on the bottom preventing them to not go deep enough into the bridge to couple up. When and if I decide to used it above I will modify a couple of elevated rails to fit perfectly. Won't take too much modifying. Never fear though as I have tons of them.

That's horrible! Not only does it loop annoyingly, but it sounds very off key and the quality is ass. This makes me glad you're getting rid of it (seriously? What have they done to the song?).
