Jim from Bridgeboss is an excellent suggestion.

njhirailers  makes  el stuff that looks real  and is study too

The Hirailers manufacture New York-style el structures. They used to have a separate website for those products linked off their main page, but it's been converted to a Facebook presence Silk City Bridges where you can find an email address to get additional info and presumably a pricelist.

    ogaugeguy I scratch built A 5 1/2 ft. trestle. I built 4 supports that I used W roof trusses and cut flat plastic the same width as the W trusses and CA them together and CA cross supports in to help with side load. Choo Choo Kenny 

I looked at three: the one from NJHRs, Imagine That Laser Art and Bridgeboss. This is purely my opinion here:  (1) NJHR is the least realistic of the three (it actually looks very good with lots of detail but in the I beam column hollows of the samples I have you can the seams of the layers that are glued together). It is very nicely made, probably the least time intensive to assemble and affordable. The Bridgeboss is the middle - a very good representation, well made, very adaptable, not too time intensive to assemble and reasonably priced.  The ImagineThatLaserArt is by far the most realistic and amazing in detail.  But it's price is even more amazing.  And I think assembling it would be time intensive.  I'm going with Bridgeboss.   Peter

Let me say this about Silk City:  I have purchased some of their products and it is really nice stuff.  Being a Pennsy guy,I find it very realistic and appropriate for what I want to have on my layout.  There is no need for any changes to the product because it is made to specs.  Everything is made to order. I have a good bit of Miami Bridges product and was really happy to get Silk City made by John and his guys. 

Harry Heike made me a cast trestle set and it is nice also.

I don't do photos,but I'd set you an Iphone photo if you'd like one in this case.

THE NJ HIRAILERS AND JOHN S CAN MAKE IT FOR YOU. YOUR DECISION COMES DOWN TO TWO FACTORS.

1. DO YOU HAVE THE CARPENTRY SKILL TO MAKE IT YOURSELF ?

2.IF NOT DO YOU HAVE THE BUDGET FOR THE HIRAILERS (WHICH IS GREAT AND YOU WILL GREAT WOW FACTOR WHEN INSTALLED

Wow

I would like to order stuff from BridgeBoss, but there website is too complicated for me.

I have bought TrainWorx El stuff, and will check out the NJHiRailers.

If only BridgeBoss would fix there website.

I used laser deck piers from East Coast Enterprises. Also used their deck piers. But made my own for the curves. Pricey, but the best. Several styles available at various heights. they have a large booth at York
