All new now!
With finding my new bits of inspiration, I need to find kits to fit the prototype. I've been looking online and think I've found a few things that will be close. I'm wondering what you folks think of the the kits compared to photos of the original. Here are a few pictures.
This is a picture of the trestle I'm trying to copy.
I found this trestle kit online. I'm thinking that if I can separate at the span, add the plate girder sections, then add the rest of the bents on the end, it'll come out pretty good.
I also found a depot kit that is close in style to the original. I could add a full second floor, but I'm not sure of my skills. I may just add the limestone at the base.
Do you folks think these kits are close enough? I think the trestle could turn out spot on, provided I can recreate the piers. Th depot is pretty close. I think I'd have to buy two of them to add the second floor. I'm not sure that's worth the time or money. Any thought?
