Dimensions: 15-1/4 x 1-3/8'' (38.7 x 3.5cm)
Kit #0304, the Tall Curved Trestle, is 110 scale feet long, and over 40 scale ft. high. It incorporates a bridged pass-through for crossing another track, or a road or stream. With the several different heights for the "Bents" it allows wide variations to fit your terrain. Two or more of these kits can be built into a single, longer Curved Trestle, or an "S" Curved Trestle. They can be combined with the low curved trestle or with the Deck Timber Bridge, Kit #0761.
While curved trestles are not used on prototype railroads if they can be avoided, in Model Railroading we take the opposite point of view, and include one in our plan if we possibly can--because they present such an interesting scenic effect. As a matter of fact, many modelers have combined two or more of these kits to build an "S" Curved Trestle, although these were rarely built on prototype roads, they are extremely interesting to look at.
Since model railroads come in all sizes and shapes, and individual builders favor many variation in track plans and radius of curvature, these kits have been especially designed to be built to any radius desired. Full size templates are furnished for all radii from 18" to 36", plus straight.
This kit features:
- Authentic Design--from prototype specifications
- Improved Stringers -- stronger, better looking, easier to use
- 16" scale diameter Piles
