The "canyon" is approx. 18" railhead to bottom. I have envisioned scratchbuilding a wooden trestle but it wouldn't look right with the Mainline CP locos I will be running(my opionion lol).
I am looking at using another Lionel # 231 truss bridge(upside down this time) to give it that heavy
mainline look at this time. If I can muster up some energy after work I will continue on my quest...
Mark, I was checking out your layout thread and I have an idea for your track plan

I agree, most all of us like spindly trestles for an application like this, but the heavier truss would be better for your mainline trains!

I know about getting home and feeling too tired to do anything. Both my dad and father-in-law retired lass than a year older than I am now. As I recall, they didn't get a lot accomplished after work at my age either!

I am all ears for any suggestions you may have! Whoops! You may say, 'scrap it all and do something totally different!' Ha ha!
