Large Timber Trestle Bridge
I guess I am like most people - we all want to model a large timber trestle spanning a deep gorge. I don't exactly understand what interest modelers in such structures. Is it because of the sheer size and complexity of the construction itself? Is it seemingly fragile appearance of the completed bridge? Well, that’s enough speculating…shut up and model…


Span: 100'
Depth: 50'
Style: Timber

    This bridge will be built from scratch, unlike the small timber trestle that was purchased used and partially together. The first step is to get some measurements and make some decisions.


This project is just getting under way. I don't have a lot here now but I will be adding to this page as the construction progresses. So, please check back often.

More to come...
