The bridge/tunnel itself is of a high quality, as usual with Melissa & Doug toys, the graphics, colors and size are great.The waterfall panel is a separate element, so you can either use it as a background for the largest opening (it securely attaches to it) or drop it and make an extra tunnel instead.Pictures on the back of all elements are the same as on the front, no blank or grey areas.

However, the incline of the bridge is too steep for light wooden trains (we have Brios, Thomas/Emily, and Imaginarium loco): you may need a longer straight track for a train not to fall off the tracks.Given that the assembled length is about 30", it may take some space.

It is our first "big" bridge, and it may be a common knowledge, but both its ends are female, which I didn't expect...

Overall, it looks absolutely great and can be used in many different layouts due to all the openings.

UPDATE: the two female ends really started bothering me to the point that we rarely use this bridge now (we have some adapters, but they are used elsewhere), and my son doesn't understand why his trains keep falling off the tracks when everything is so perfectly lined up -this bridge is too steep for a normal sized layout.So, I decreased my initial rating to 3 stars and do not recommend buying this toy.

This bridge tunnel is super cool.We just got it for our 3yo son for his birthday and he loves it.It is very well made, and fits his Thomas brand track perfectly.Yes, it has 2 female ends, therefore if you don't have an adapter then you will need one or two (which is simply a small piece of track with 2 male ends on it).It's well worth getting an adapter piece, because they come in handy often anyways.And yes it takes up a bit of space because it's a large bridge, and you need a long straightaway on each end of it to avoid the trains derailing on the turns.But that is common sense to me, so I expected that when I purchased this piece.Overall, my son loves it, it is great quality, and was a whole lot cheaper and better looking than any Thomas brand bridge, so I love it too!

This item is superb, compatible with both Thomas and Bigjigs wooden tracks. The design was done with much details that it made it look real. The 3D effect of the pull-out waterfall is also amazing. And true enough, the problem would be the female to female tracks on both ends, however, adaptors would be most helpful.I am wodering that after all these reveiws on the female-female thing, why are they still not correcting it?? But in any case, this item is top notch!, very smooth edges and most importantly, my son loves it.

I gave this tunnel for my 18 months son for Christmas. The look is amazing, it works perfectly with other brand tracks. You will need some adaptors and to put straight tracks on both ends of the bridge, and with that, you're set. I recommend this item.
