Reply to "IDEAS FOR TRESTLE-STYLE PORTALS?"

 I would like to have a 11 foot long elevated straightaway to run a set of Lionel Reading MUs. My problem is that, because of the surface tracks I have laid in place years ago, I can not use any trestles with bases. I tried to set up an elevated section jerry-rigging 1 /2 inch-thick 4" by 18 " boards with 1/2 wooden poles screwed into the boards and the layout table, but this was unsatisfactory in looks and operation. I think I am in need of trestle-style portals that would allow the train below to go through. Any suggestions?

Masonite or 5/4 finger jointed pine would work very well.IMG_0008IMG_9071
