Cable-stayed Suspension Bridge for Brio/Wooden Trains

thingiverse

I made this simple cable-stayed bridge for Brio or other wooden trains as a replacement for my son's broken bridge that I accidentally destroyed by standing on it. I wanted to try something new, so I opted for the modern cable-stayed design. First, print two of the cable-stayed-bridge parts and one rod. Then, attach the sides to a long straight track piece (if using a regular track piece instead of a custom bridge piece, consider gluing a small wood or plastic base under the connectors at each end to prevent connected tracks from falling through). The tiny rods for the legs and top of the tower are designed with slightly smaller lugs. Assuming the holes they fit into will be slightly tight, I printed the lugs a bit bigger than necessary. A little glue after assembly helps ensure everything stays in place.
