A lot of timber goes into a 1:48 scale trestle bridge .

Sheet balsa is uesed to underside of shorter bends to obtain exact height to main trestle bend.

Jigs are important to construct a  trestle bridge.

Photo shows 1:87 bridge. I used the same jig for 1:48 scale

1:48 scale trestle bends using hardwood dowels ( obtained from hardware shop ).

Use a hand saw to ruff up the dowels, prior to construction & staining.

( Highly diluted acrylic paints mixed with windscreen washer solution )
