Hello everyone !
Thanks for adding me as a new member of this great community.
I'm very interested in the Mehano bridge and trestle set F292 (H0 scale) because 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 did a little research and I found that the Peco track (29.5mm) is a little bit larger than the Mehano track (28.5mm).

This appears to be slightly different from the Tyco set. The Tyco set I believe had 12 different heights to the piers. They ascended in 1/4 inch increments. The Mehano set appears to have 13 different sizes, and I suspect these are metric.

The Tyco 33-piece Bridge and Trestle Set also had 13 different trestle heights. The image of the Mehano set is too blurry to confirm, but it could be from the old Tyco tooling.

He seems to be alive and kicking on YouTube. You can see his last post (one day ago) on this video:

Arrived this morning ! Unfortunately, Peco and Hornby tracks are too big for this set. The Hornby and Peco tracks are a little bit larger (29.5mm) than the Mehano track (28.5mm). So, I'll return it to the sender very soon.

The decision has been made: back to Amazon (free postage too) !
