are the piers available for purchase somewhere?
George Lasley makes the piers by hand. Each one is customized to meet the specific needs of each situation. I will ask George to give you the specifics of the parts he uses.
We research our collective library of N&W and Virginian reference books and reprinted technical manuals from both railroads for inspiration to make the piers as prototypical as possible.
The piers are made up from Evergreen and Plastruct I beams and C channels. The laced parts are Central Valley pieces from their HO kits. They are packaged and sold in several different assortments. The girders are .030 sheet with angles glued on. Next to come is catenary poles and wire.
George
