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.





Not finished yet, but I couldn't resist some test photos:



I'm guessing that Derek meant trestle designs in the sense of the Lionel "trestle set", such as Pete and I described, and not timber trestles, but I could be wrong.

Derek, which style are you asking about? Smile

Dave,
I've always loved the way your trestle design frames that waterfall rather than blocking it from view as mine does. Some day there will be a rebuild on my layout! Smile
