Today I made a jig for building 8 identical trestle bents.

Here are some completed bents...

And here I have begun some of the retaining wall. This is the self adhesive stone wall from... Woodland Scenics? I think.

I plan on extending the entire Metropolitan Fuel and Capital Cold Storage area by about 9" wide and 3" deep. I realized just the other day that the coal yard didn't have enough space between the trestles for a trucker to get a dump truck in there without completely blocking up the whole coal yard. Since I'm pretty sure the owner will want to load more than one truck at a time, I was forced to move a couple of turnouts and expand the coal yard. Pics to follow in a few days.
