Stacking supports enable you to put track underneath

Customer Reviews

Very Stable
The tracks are well supported, and you can stack them to have a cross track, not just an overpass going the same direction. The Thomas supports are not as flexible, i.e. all of the track has to be going the same direction (left to right or top and bottom)Really well built like all Brio.

Expensive, but has a lot going for it.
Two supports for fifteen bucks is expensive even for Brio. However, they have a lot of features. They can be stacked in any direction. They can serve as a tunnel. They are the same length as the shortest track, so you keep your symetry in check. They have a little lip under the point where you connect them, so a track connected to them will not fall through (no other support needed), which is the primary reason I like them because it can get frustrating for my kids to keep knocking the supports out from under the tracks.

Some things I would like to see:
There should be value packs available - if you want to stack just one set of two supports, you'll need two for the stack, and another two for the two ramps that get you from ground level up to the first level. You'll probably wish to turn while at level 1 because four bridges in a row is a lot of straight track, so you're looking at 6 supports needed to approach anything interesting.
It would also be nice to have gender changer versions.

Great item in multiples
The stackable bridge supports are very sturdy and work well. In order to stack multiple levels you will need probably at least 3 sets or more of the supports and lots of room to build. Laying out track with these is a little tricky because of the supports bigger footprint which only allow lower track to be parallel or perpendicular to the support. I use the stackable bridge supports in conjunction with the BRIO Super Supports. The Super Supports have a smaller footprint but aren't as stable. The combination works well for me.
