Moose Creek Trestle

2005, with the change of Large Scale, I started building the large Trestle on the east side of our house. The Trestle was essential for the proposed railway line. I would not have the 180 degree turn without much lifting and site changes can do.

The technical data of the Trestle: length about 17 feets, maximum height 3.5 feet above the "Moose Creek".

.A similar reception but with the large steam engine, the 2-8-8-2 Articulated.

 

The Trestle and around 70 cm long deck truss bridge in the middle of the Trestle is built entirely of weather-resistant larch wood.

So that the wood and weathered look, I inject the Trestle regularly with gray-brown stain.

 

 

 

In this picture some details of the Trestleconstruction be seen.
