Been working on a simple trestle:
I started with cookie-cutter strips of Homasote and 1/4" plywood laminated together and edged with two long strips of cheap plastic trim (from Home Depot) glued onto each side.

The railing posts are made from HO rail. I made a little jig to drill the holes consistently (more or less).

Twenty minutes on the band saw and I had a "kit" for making the bents.
