Todd;

A pier is nothing more than a timber trestle bridge that stops over water (with or without tracks!). Standard piling arrangement looks good. "Garden Railways" had a nice little article and plans for timber trestles about 5~6 issues back.

GR also published 1/20 scale tugboat and a scow schooner plans in the past issues. They are Ted Stinson plansets and might still be available, the same source as the plansets in each issue.

   Have fun with your trains
