Re: Cornerstone trestle - N Scale
I finally checked on the trestle parts from two manufaturers stashed at the museum and found the following maximum bent heights:
ConCor/Heljan - 6.0 inches (80 scale feet). This is the tallest bent in the trestle kit.
TJ Models - 5.625 inches (75 scale feet). TJ Models makes/made pre-built wood bents in 4 n-scale heights from 20 ft up to 75 ft. I don't know if they are still around or not as I've had these for a number of years and havn't noticed their products lately, but I havn't looked for them either. The package does not have an e-mail address only the following the following snail mail address:
TJ Models
PO Box 89
Jacksboro, TN 37757
I tried Googling and came up with zip. I suspect that to get the height you are desiring a custom built trestle is the way to go. I'd suggest building a jig such that all you need to do is cut/place/glue and lift out - repeat...
