Has anyone got a link as to where I may find a plan to make a jig for an On30 tressle?
I`ve got a load of 1/4 inch square dowl and not sure where to go now,Many thanks James

Greetings from the Colonies, James.

Black Bear Construction Company < http://www.blackbearcc.com/O_kits.htm#DRGWStyle > has a good selection of trestles and bridges taken from railroad plans or existing structures. Besides complete kits, they also sell drawings and instructions. I have not built one of their kits (yet) but have reserved a spot for an On3 trestle or trestle/Howe bridge combination. I believe you can also buy copies of railroad trestle drawings but the source name escapes me at the moment. Others will probably have the name or other suggestions.

Hello James,
If you look at the introductry post by Tim of Prancing Pony Sales, he has a side view of a very nice looking trestle whicn may be of help to you.
Good luck,
Al

I built a jig using plans that I got from Maxwell. Now that his son has passed awsy. They are currently not available. My bridge is of a C&S pattern. I will be soon building another large trestle, and several smaller ones.

Try this thread. Frank53(here on the forum) made his from this simple jig he came up with and some pre cut stock from Home DePot

Hi guys many thanks for the pointers,have found an old catalog with pictures face on of a tressle so have scaned it then doubled the measurements to get the size I required and have to date made the jig & two uprights!
Thanks again James
