I hate to sound like a broken record but again I recommend you get a catalog from Black Bear Construction Co. Box 26991, Austin, TX 78755-0911 for $3 with a $2 coupon. They not only have plans but great jigs for all types of trestles and truss bridges in S scale, plus material packs of high quality lumber for building them. (I don't have any deal with them but have beautiful bridges and trestles on my layout that I built using their stuff. Wally Collins.

I have seen many bridge plans of all types in the popular railroading magazines. There is also a book on bridges and trestles. Somebody commented that "trestle bridge" is not correct terminology. This reminds me of the railroad through my home town. There was a long fill in the river valley on both sides leading to the actual bridge. People always talked about crossing the railroad trestle (using the railroad bridge was a common shortcut for the more "daring" pedestrians). I chuckle, it had never dawned on me that it was not a trestle! I'm guessing the terminology was leftover from when there WAS a trestle, which had been converted to a fill. >Are there any plans available for building a trestle bridge using >plastruct or similiar materials?
