(Note: This would not have been a problem if I had not been for the decal fiasco - I could have used the flat bottom of the glued together bridges.)  I glued wood strips to the insides of the sides.  They were down from the top just enough to allow the ‘platforms’ to be flush with the tops when installed.  The ‘platforms’ are about 1/16 inch think and cut from a sheet of basswood.";
