I'll take the bridge and trestle question first. <br />I use Redwood because it has a natural resistance to rot. If you own a table saw try ripping your own "timbers", if not, I believe 1/2 or 3/4 inch sq. Redwood stakes are available at garden supply stores (if any are open this time of year). <br /> <br />Now for the rocks.....unless you enjoy REAL BACK BREAKING WORK find another way to level your track as it runs over the rocks. Maybe miniature stone retaining walls to even out the tops of the large rocks. Or try to find a route that avoids any problem rocks. <br /> <br />I hope this helps......OLD DAD
