GreenIron, <br /> <br />OK, based on your description of the problem, I think you should build a trestle. A trestle can easily be made into any curve because it is a series of short spans. Just set your curved track over a set of chords made of girders. <br /> <br />The next question is what era are you modeling? If you are modeling in the pre 1900 timeframe, build a timber trestle. If you are modeling a trestle built after WWII then make it a steel trestle. If it is a large RR since WWI make it steel but if it is a shortline in this timeframe, build timber. But if you don't like my advice and have something you want to do, then do that. Modeling is for fun, do what interests you. Good Luck - Ed
