I'm pretty sure that I've seen K-Line trestles at Hobby Lobby. The K-Line trestle is completely compatible with Lionel track, and I think it looks better. If you have any hobby shops in your area that deal in Lionel or other O gauge trains, I would think they would have trestle sets, as they're a fairly high-demand item.

I've had good luck locating hobby shops by searching for Industrial Rail authorized dealers: http://www.gpmd.com/cgi-bin/wc569010ap.pgm?V=IDM Most of the places that sell/sold Industrial Rail also sell other manufacturers.

I hope this helps.
