@Putnam Division posted:Ken....I am really liking this design.....I am getting a 20x30 attic room in a year and have designed a similar sized layout for 072/081. My plan is all one 1 level.....my problem is that I can only think in 2 dimensions. I like the over/under aspect to bring more interest to the space. However, I am blanking on how I would do the curved trestles over the yard. Can you tell me what you envision there?

Hi Peter, sorry for the delayed reply. The bridges over the yard are made from sectional track sections. I think that a variety of wood-style trestle bents would work, perhaps even some commercially available could be fitted. Maybe one trestle bent between each pair of tracks.
We have seen other folks build supports using dowels painted to look like concrete. A custom girder bridge could be done, wrapping the edges of the track with a bendable material, then detailing and painted to look like steel.
Some ideas anyway. -Ken
