Thank you Scale-Structures, yours was the only advertisement that had a Christmas greeting. Guess all the others just want the DOLLARS.

Especially enjoyed Steve Otte's "How to build a wood coal trestle" (Dec MR). Really helpful step-by-step instructions: for once, I understand how building a larger "ravine type" trestle should be approached! Also really like those n.b.w. castings painted in a rusty red before application; really effective!
