Timber Trestles with the uprights of squared wood timbers instead of round pilings were built in a wide variety of situations by railroads everywhere. The design and materials permit much taller structures than are allowed with pilings while at the same time adapting to all other trestle requirements.

There is nothing that improves the scenic effect of a model railroad layout more than a trestle, either crossing some deep ravine or a wide canyon. The lacy effect of the cross-bracing seems to add to the romantic impact of the rugged scenery and make it more realistic. Trestles should be used wherever possible.

This Timber Trestle #0752, is our N scale version of #0751. Its maximum close spaced span is 147 feet and the instructions include a variety of alternate designs. This kit is of all wood construction and is complete down to the turned Fire Barrels. Detailed instructions, photos of a completed kit, an isotropic drawing and full-sized template drawing are included.
