Dewey - the trestle was built in 2006 for my old layout. It is a scale 1/48 life sized copy from CPR Blueprints. It is Maple hardwood cut to scale size lumber. The main supports are 1/4" square as the railroad used 12" square timbers.

The edging is not facia -- it is the Mianne wood beams that are assembled with a screwdriver. I put the framework together by myself in 8 hours. Table is topped with 1/2" plywood and 1" pink foam insulation.  Thanks for the nice comments
