Gd Morning OGR Members: While I'm still in the planning mode, I'd like to see some Scratch Built Wooden Trestle Bridges. Any photos that you have would be deeply appreciated and would help my planning along the way. As always, many thanks for everyones input and expertise. - MARSHELANGELO

There're some beautiful trestles here.
Here's an old photo of the scratchbuilt trestle on the AGHR model railroad

Jim; great looking trestles.
This is a real gem, Jim.
Hello Jim • Excellent Trestle Design and location on the layout.
Cheers from Michigan
Here are some pictures of a trestle I built for our club layout.
Some photos of my two trestles. I love building these.

I would strongly recommend you building one of these structures. Probably one of the best enjoyments that I have had building my little layout. Enjoy the journey.
Great work, and awesome photos.
I will be adding one on my layout this winter also. It needs to be about 34" long, and will be about 14" high at the bottom of the ravine. Lots of work to do to build the bridge and the scenery around it.

Stephen,
Beautiful work on the trestle, and what a great set of photos. I think they are close to becoming a blueprint and tutorial.
Thank you for sharing,
Aflyer
Stephen, I am fully agreeing with Aflyer. Great work, great photos.
Please keep the photos coming with your progress.
Thank you Guy's, they are old photos I have others if anyone needs them. Except for the walkway the bridge is finish. here are a couple of photos…..
Great work again....and I can really appreciate all of the time that you have done on this masterpiece. GREAT JOB!!
All of these are beautiful! Roger, you did a wonderful job...I can't wait to visit again sometime soon!
Alan
Roger, I also really enjoyed doing the trestle bridge…..
IMPRESSIVE, all of you guys have raised the bar for me, the funny thing is I'm still cleaning out my basement but I'm totally motivated by what I have seen. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. I've got to go now and get off of this computer and back into the basement. This layout won't go up without a basement to put it in. Later - MARSHELANGELO
Wow! To all of you who posted, congratulations on some amazing work!
Yes, really, I love trestles and this thread was great.
