Melgar, your layout is absolutely superb.  Can you tell us exactly what materials went into the construction of your truss bridge and trestle?  Both structures are very realistic and appear very sturdy.

Thank you OKHIKER. Both bridges made from basswood strips with various cross sections. Reinforcing gusset plates on the truss bridge (1/32-inch thick basswood sheet) make it very strong. Trestle uses 1/4-inch square cross section (one foot full scale) for the columns - so also quite strong.
