Trestle Bridge : Based on Wickham Bishops trestle bridge over the river Blackwater with slight variations, this is a step by step guide to modelling the main components of this bridge in styrene sheet. The stone supports at either end of the bridge are briefly covered and further details of their construction can be found in Random Stone Walls. The bridge itself, is a fairly straight forward bit of model making ideal for the beginner. Most of the trestle bridge is constructed from 3.0mm styrene sheet, which when cutting is scalpel marked in the usual way, secured in a suitable vice with scalpel mark aligned to the top of the jaw and bent to create a break.
