Description: EVERGREEN HILL DESIGNS....PLEASE SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL HOBBY SHOP....However, if you do not have a local hobby shop or they do not carry the item in stock and they cannot get it in time to support your needs, feel free to purchase the items directly through us.The Kit is new stock and you are buying directly from us, the manufacturer.The design is closely based on the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad Co. Standard Pile Trestle Plans for Standard Gauge Lines (Adopted Feb. 1907). A trestle is an important part of any railroad and is used by virtually every line in the world. This 48’ long Pile Trestle will work in a wide variety of applications, either on a layout or as part of a diorama, whenever you need your trains to step gracefully over small ravines, hills or whatever depression you may want to cross. This Pile Trestle can be added to an existing layout by simply adding a small gully or ravine, thus providing some additional items for your visitors to look at. The actual dimensions are 48 ft long x 10.0 ft wide. The height will depend on which Bent you decide to use. Bent Templates are provided to achieve an 15 ft, 20 ft or 24 ft tall trestle (as measured from the ground to the top of the ties). This allows the builder to semi-custom build the trestle bents to their unique location.NOTE: Although this is for Standard Gauge Lines, if the line just saw smaller and lighter Narrow-Gauge engines (less that K37’s), they would build the Narrow Gauge version of the Trestle to save money.Kit Dimensions (approximate): HO Scale: 6.25 longThe kit features precision-cut basswood scale dimensional lumber by Kappler Mill & Lumber Company, detailed Build Instructions and Templates for assembling/weathering the Trestle. The Kit includes Templates and material to build a complete Trestle with ties (including two Abutments and two Bents). The Trestle Ties are 10’ long and the kit includes many Nut/Bolt/Washer castings.Primary Differences between Narrow Gauge (NG) and Standard Gauge (SG) Pile Trestles1) Cap Beam dimensions: 12" x 12" (NG) and 14" x 12" (SG) 2) Length of Cap Beam: 12' (NG) and 14'6" (SG) 3) Number of Piles per Bent: Four Piles (NG) and Five Piles (SG) 4) An additional 3" x 10" Dump (Abutment) Plank making the Plank Wall 50" tall (SG) from 40" tall (NG). 5) Number of Tie Beam Stringers: Six Stringers (NG) and Eight Stringers (SG) We hope you enjoy building the kit!
