Allen, <br /> <br />Culverts are normally installed with four feet or more cover above the culvert to the bottom of the ties. This is done to distribute the weight of the axles over the culvert. Trestles have so many more situations, I would need some information before providing any guidance. Culverts are easily modeled with a piece of plastic to represent the headwall and a short section of tubing projecting outward. Color the tubing and plastic headwall medium tan for concrete. Paint the inside of the tube black and add a tiny amount of simulated water dripping from the tube. <br /> <br />Good Luck - Ed
