Ed <br /> <br />I hadn't thought of the duel trestle idea. This may be the key, as my dilemma was which structure to build at the exspense of what I really wanted. This way I could have both and still be "correct". I like to write and since my railroad is fictious I've begun an entire story on its history and evolution. A burnt structure would really add to the mystique of the story as to "who done it"--many possibilities there. Even though two structures would require more work, I'd benefit from the experience and wouldn't have to worry about messing up. I'd likely burn an actual portion of the trestle, just to be authentic. It so happens that I've won a two book auction on ebay. One book is about coaling in the Appalacians and the other is the Bridges and trestles Kalmbach book. I got both for $18.00. You said in the other reply that you were surprised at the cost of some of the other trestles, were they priced higher or lower than you expecte? <br />Keep the great ideas coming. <br />Rene'
