Hi Jack from Star, Idaho. Here are a few photos of the trestle I am building. The top deck in the photo is not installed and I have not installed the barrels. The top deck has metal railings and 1mm red LED's on both sides as aircraft markers. Plus I added LED flood lights to shine on the lower track which looks cool at night. I know I have a few trees below the trestle but remember I am not a proto type modeler, I do what appeals to me because it's my railroad. I should have this thing completed in the next several weeks but will not install the top deck until the back drop is painted...:eek:

That's an AWESOME bridge! And nice set of locos too. What is that on your backdrop? Lightning strikes? Is that a painted backdrop or photo?
 


Trestle Jig

I bought a jig from Black Bear Construction. The jig is very high quality and a must when you have a lot of bents to build. I will have 44 when I am finished. If you plan to build a trestle bridge use a jig because each bent has to have a degree of accuracy.:eek:
