That'd work as well !I settled for what looked right
Here is a link to information I found useful for building trestles. When I built the McQuire Creek curved trestle for the 5 Mile RR it provided me with prototype lumber sizes used for the trestle components. Its over 400 pages written in 1913. Good for the reference library.Is there a standard for bent spacing? I'm building a small (6") trestle and am trying to figure out if I need 2 or 4 bents.
Thanks
I spaced ~11' except in the middle where the track runs, so for narrow gauge that was a good guess.
