After a week, I finally completed my trestle. I built it using 1/4” and
3/8” square doweling rod purchased from a local hardware store. I first
traced on a large sheet of paper the track curve, as well as the location of
the tracks that would pass below. From this, I determined the measurements
as well as the location of each pier.
I built the deck of the trestle directly onto the drawing that I had made,
using this as an exact guide for placing the pieces. This was the best
option to keep everything accurate. The piers had to be on a sharp angle due
to the two tracks passing below so extra support had to be given to the
trestle deck in some areas. I finished the piers with 1/16" cross supports
as well as a deck for the 18" radius track to sit on. Even thought this is
not the most prototypical trestle, it still looks good on the layout and
fits the track perfectly.
By this time I have placed all of my track bed with the exception of the
front staging area. I just want to be sure of my turn out positions before I
glue anything down permanently. You can finally get a good idea of how my
layout is going to look.
