Forks Trestle is now filling in on november 28th/29th 2009 @ the show in Uppermill
I have a passinger train & a logging train plus a small goods train at the mo but look to the CRM for stock transfers to increas trains
As part of the CRM 0n30 Modular Layout i am building a valley Modular which will have a wooden trestle bridge going across it
The standard for the modules is to have the track at four inches above table level, Forks Trestle will hang between two tables though and the rest of the modules will then be placed either side of it. This arrangement works OK, we have a single OO scale module which drops below table level too, but it is strictly one drop down section per assembly because varying table lengths at different venues make it impossible to guarantee that the layout can match two table joins.
