Almost forgot, Wood isn't bad for a bridge at all, but for a building or rolling stock styrene would be better.

Well, let's see. Limited budget, no materials, don't know how. Hmmm, CNW built his trestle out of wood, while everyone tells me that plater or syrene is the way to go. I suppose (if I can get the materials) I could try building a bridge or something like that. Any suggestions for a beginner?

I would go with wood to try to build a trestle

However, Wood is not a bad choice if you want to model a wood prottype building or freight car.

I'm starting to assemble the walls together. I kind of turned them into sub assemblies by detailing each part and then I'll attach them all together. I've got alot of work to go but I think I'lll just make the deadline if nothing weird comes up while painting and decaling.
