Take a piece of your curved track in the 6' radius, (make the total length of the track pieces the same as the length you will need when the trestle is finished, & lay it upside down on your bench..... cut your under tie horizontal support pieces in 6 inch lengths......... screw your vertical bents to the bottoms of these horizontal pieces w/brass # 6 srews (after pre-drilling the horizontal pieces to keep them from splitting while screwing them together)........ place the next section you build at the end of the first section......... cut the ends of the horizontal pieces off to match the curve you need and glue (or patch the ends together with a thin connector piece of wood.)....... then glue your other horizontal pieces into the already finished bents to help strenghten them.............. I have a 14' long trestle I built in the manner, and it has held up fine through 2 winters now. <br />Good luck and happy trestle bent building.............!!!!
