Hello Happy Members !
I'm very interested in the Mehano bridge and trestle set F292 (H0 scale). It seems very similar to the old Tyco bridge and trestle set. Maybe Mehano bought the old Tyco tooling ? The big question is: can I use it with the Peco track? Thanks for your help.

I like the look of these trestles. I’ve been thinking of replacing my Atlas piers with this set. The difference is this set has a much steeper grade. I’m looking to buy two sets and use a bunch of shims to maintain a softer grade.
 
I just ordered one Mehano bridge and trestle set for $16(shipping cost included !) on Amazon.fr. Wait and see...:D

i had one of these sets years ago. I prefer the looks of it over the Atlas pier set. One of the downsides to this set is centering the piers between track sections. Once you get that taken everything adjusted and fastened down it great. Tip: add a 1/16" shim to the first pier closest to the bridge. this will ease the approach and prevent derails and uncoupling events.👍

I would think it would work with any sectional track. As I recall there are just slots for the ties on the "trestle" uprights. And I don't think Peco ties are less "long" than other brands. Are you also able to get Hornby track in France? I like their radius selection better than Peco's.
