A very traditional BRIO bridge and it takes only a glance to see why. The winch drawbridge function is sure to become a favorite with any young railroad engineer as they raise and lower the bridge by turning the hand crank. Use over imaginary rivers to afford passage to tall ships. Additional play possibilities arise due to the dual guard gates which may be lowered or raised in an attempt to stop trains when the bridge is up. This set also includes a pair of ascending ramp tracks to raise ground-level track up and over the bridge. Made with typical precision of the era, with rounded off stainless steel hardware, solid, clear hardwoods and a smattering of extra-durable plastic where appropriate. This bridge has stood the test of time. Picture of actual item. MADE IN SWEDEN..... it is getting harder to find NEW BRIO made there. This genuine BRIO Wooden Railway piece is a brand new, high-quality item made in Sweden. It is a rare, out-of-production treasure that is hand-built from solid beechwood, using environmentally-friendly paints. A toy of lasting quality that will inspire the imaginations of generations of young (3+) railroaders or make-believers. BRIO wooden railway items are the true original, but are also compatible with Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends track and pieces too. So, the item featured here can be used to add on to any existing wooden railway. This is a rare chance to buy classic Swedish-made BRIO from untouched store inventory. Until recently, BRIO wooden toys were made with pride in Sweden since 1884. The company used all non-toxic materials, including flawless beechwood and birch hardwoods that are durable enough for decades of play and free of insecticides and toxic chemicals; paints that are likewise non-toxic, with up to 60 coats applied to each painted piece to resist chipping while maintaining their bright colors. A timeless choice for the holidays -- can't be found in stores! |
