Reply to "Another FasTrack post..."

I like those ideas, my issue is the trestles Im currently building are more of an older style wooden look to go along with my scenery. If I can get my phone to post pictures it would help, but basically they are much alike the original fastrack trestles, just made piece by piece of real wood. I was hoping to do more of a wooden, open ties below the track type of deal. I wonder if notching pieces of the wood and pressing the fastrack rails (since they are a "U" shape and hollow) would work? Maybe using some adhesive to make them stay put? And a template to keep check that the track is the right distance apart if any of this makes any sense.

I do like the idea of transitioning into a different type of track but I also want to stay with what I currently have just for the fact that I already have exactly how much I'll need. 

Much to think of here, I may have to do some trial and error and post pics of (hopefully) a finished product. What I have is a 11x8 foot table which I will be running 6 trains off of simultaneously. 3 are on the ground with the exception of some girder bridges I made, 2 will be on a second level and the last will be on a third level higher up in the mountains. The majority of the back of the layout is mountains and tunnels. The 2 trains on the second level come out of the mountains onto said "bridges" I'm attempting to make, and the third is the same. I'm trying to obtain as much operating trains as possible while keeping scenery and such not crowded. Also requiring me to make custom trestles and bridges for all due to me being picky about everything lol. Hopefully that helps kind of explain my goal a little better until I can start posting some pics
