Colorado
Eastern - Trestle Approaches
Step one was to build cribbing on the left
side. It is very easy to construct, as it consists of 1/2" square
strips of wood nailed together at 90 degree angles. This particular
piece of cribbing is approximately 16" long, 8" wide and about
10" tall, using the strip-wood provided by Paul's Trains at www.gardenrr.com.

On the right hand side I decided to use a rock wall on the outside of
the layout and a timber retaining wall on the inside. Once again I used
the extra strip wood provided with the trestle - Thanks Paul! |
