Product Description

Editorial Review

Your BRIO Wooden Railway layout is sure to get a lift of its own with the addition of model 33357, the Lifting Bridge--yet another classy component from the Swedish toymaker. Constructed of clean, blond hardwood with colorful plastic guardrails, BRIO's Lifting Bridge lets small hands raise and lower the span with the twist of a knob (the crank protruding from the knob is a bit clumsy). It comes complete with two connecting sections of trademark grooved track, allowing for seamless integration with other BRIO Railway pieces. --Tony Mason

5.0 out of 5 stars A neat addition to your child's Brio set, February 10, 2001

This is a working drawbridge that has a crank the child can use to lift the bridge. It also includes two ramps tracks to make it fit easily onto the set. You will want to also purchase two sections of long straight tracks to balance the loop on the other side since the bridge extends the loop considerably on one side.

This review is from: BRIO Lifting Bridge (Toy)

This is a lovely bridge, but unfortunately one of the side pivot pins (the part that holds the bridge to the supports) broke when we took it out of the box! I never contacted the seller as it seemed like such a lot of time and energy to get it replaced. We've glued it back several times, but it just keeps breaking. I feel the bridge is still worth it as my 3 kids (6, 3 & 2 years) still play with it regardless as the string that you wind the bridge up with (the lifting part) helps it to stay in one piece, well almost. I would have given this bridge 5 stars, but because of the broken pivot pin I can only give it a 2.

Add some fun with this drawbridge. It lasts and lasts -- ours is at least 6 years old, and gets lots of play time.

Looks fragile, but it's not.
