Truss Bridge Basics
Once you have the bridge removed from the polyfoam carefully slide the piers in the vac form out of the interior of the bridge. Once the piers have been removed you can install
the upper front girder face of the bridge. This piece is located in the upper left corner of the
polyfoam. Using a #0 Phillips head screwdriver remove the 4 screws installed in the open end
of the bride.
Carefully install the upper girder to the bridge by inserting the screws through the die cast face
and threading the screws into the plastic girder detail behind the bridge structure. It is
important that the screws be threaded into the plastic girder details to securely hold the upper
girder face and the plastic girder details firmly in place. Note the girder does not have a specif-
ic orientation.

Bridge pier identification
The piers on this bridge have been engineered to accommodate several configurations. First, identify the pier sections for ease of reference:
Truss Bridge Basics
There are 2 of each section included with each bridge. You must match the pier height on
opposite sides of the bridge for proper operation.
Pier Base (has mounting tabs) FasTrack Elevated Trestle Section
(taller piece)
Tubular track elevated trestle section
(shorter piece)

To make the bridge compatible with Tubular O or O27 elevated trestles (available separately, 6-12755) stack the bridge piers as follows:
1. Track mounting top pier half (top)
2. Bridge mounting top pier half (top)
3. Tubular track elevated trestle section (middle)
4. Pier Base (on bottom)

Repeat this pier stack to create two piers of equal height. To mate tubular track to the bridge
piers use two FasTrack transition tracks (6-12040 FasTrack Transition Piece, sold separately).
Insert the FasTrack end of the transition track to the track mating pier. Tie the tubular track
into the tubular track end.

Repeat this pier stack to create two piers of equal height. The mating surface on the bridge pier
has been designed to accommodate straight and curved track. Simply snap any section of
FasTrack into the track mounting top pier half.

Maximizing the overall height of the bridge
Truss Bridge Assembly
If you operate scale rolling stock and need the maximum amount of clearance under the bridge use both the FasTrack elevated trestle pier and the tubular track elevated trestle pier
to achieve an overall height of 6.9”, enough space to clear Husky stack cars and auto carriers
with ease.

Combining two or more bridges
The pier system has been designed to allow you to connect multiple bridges to increase the length of the span the bridge crosses. By combining two 6-82110 FasTrack Extended Truss
Bridges you will have a total of 4 pieces of each bridge pier. One set of piers will not be used
when combining two bridges, two piers will not be used when combining three bridges and so
on. Construct the bridge end piers as described previously. For the center pier use both bridge
mating top pier halves to place on top of the pier.

Truss Bridge Assembly
Incorporating the FasTrack girder bridge(s)
Each track mating pier has been designed to allow you to incorporate a FasTrack Girder Bridge (available separately, 6-81248) as a lead into the FasTrack Extended Truss Bridge. If
the girders are mounted to the top of the girder bridge base simply snap the girder bridge into
the track mounting top pier half as shown below.

Figure 10. Removing the insert screws
Should you choose to place the girders on the underside of the girder bridge base simply
remove the two inserts in the track mounting top pier half as shown below in figure 10. Using
a Phillips head screwdriver carefully remove the pier inserts to accommodate the girders of
the FasTrack girder bridge.

Incorporating the FasTrack girder bridge(s) continued
Snap the FasTrack girder bridge with the inverted girders into the track mounting top pier half
as shown in figure 11 below.
Snap the opposite end of the FasTrack Girder Bridge into another section of FasTrack mounted
to an elevated trestle.
FasTrack Girder Bridges can be used on either end of the Extended Truss Bridge as every track
mounting top pier half is equipped with the removable inserts for inverted girders and the
track trough is wide enough to accommodate the girder bridge with the girders mounted in
the upwards position.
