Like that layout, think it will work great for the look I’m going for. I bought a 110 trestle set last night still in the original sealed bags. They are brown ones, but have all the required clips. Is there a trestle set that Lionel made that is just the raised sections, not the incline/decline?
Thank you for the accessory tips.
Cheap trees - If you are looking for evergreen, the best tip I have heard is to pick up an old artificial Christmas tree, and cut the branches into varying sizes of trees, and shape the needles accordingly.
The Lionel 111 trestle set is the elevated (all approximately 4 - 7/8 inches high I believe). However, you can certainly make your own out of 1x4s that could allow for greater clearance below.
I have the 111 set but only used it for the grades. I made my elevated posts out of 1" wood dowel. My only suggestion is to make them about 5 1/2". I made mine 5" and some newer stuff doesn't fit under my upper level.
