Hi Ed, Gerry; Not to take away from the manufacturer's that support us, but the May abd July issues of RMC (you know - the magazine that hosts the NASG co-operative S advertising on the inside front cover) have articles on bridges and trestles that would be very helpful. Plastuct themselves used to publish an article on a small wood swing bridge that included information on simulating wood with their ABS material (another topic covered in detail in RMC just recently).

A fairly new S supplier of wooden trestles is Hunterline www.hunterline.com . Their trestles are also available from Scenery Unlimited www.heimburgerhouse.com. And, per Hunter's latest ad, they will be present at the convention in Pontiac as they were in Altoona. Per their ad, they exclusively use Mt. St. Alberts lumber which is really good stuff manufactured by Gerry Cornwell who doesn't pronounce his name correctly, but, none-the-less, is a nice guy and also a staunch supporter of S for the past six to seven years. Wooden trestles are still in use so there is no necessity to not continue to place them on layouts. For example, still in use by the UP is the most awesome wooden trestle I've ever seen just outside of Weingarten, MO between Ste. Genevieve and Farmington. Long way from Stockton, but worth the trip. > > Gerry Evans > In Flagstaff > > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] > Yahoo!
