I've replaced a couple of trestles on my Canada Atlantic mainline with better-looking "kitbashed" versions using parts from Sandy River Tom's wood trestle kit and Rowie's Queensland wood trestle kit available in the file library here.

Lots of fiddly alignment work, but I'm happy with the results.

Here's the Bonnechere River trestle:

And here's the other one. The Route Editor crashed on me countless times while I was building this monster, but I finally prevailed:

Well done!
That 3rd screen shot really captures the scale of those timber trestles. That's a lot of trees :good:

Hokey Smokes! They're gorgeous! All that fiddlin' paid off, John, very very nice! That last one is a real eye-popper. Coming from one who knows about manually placing trestles in parts, (i.e. Sumpter Valley, curving on a grade- lots of fun).

Impressive! That's a lot of matchsticks. http://www.elvastower.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/handsdown.gif
