"He said - he built this trestle in 3 days"
With at least two identical building jigs...............possible, but the jigs weren't part of the 3 day build time. AND, The trestle hasn't been stained/painted/weathered yet. AND, I'll bet those were rather long days :o 
We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve. Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!

On Sunday, I visited Andy Rubbo's Northeast Corridor layout, set in north Jersey 1967. He pretty much models the same stretch of the NEC i hope to when I get the space, though I have my own idea about how i'll do it.

Wow you guys are making the rounds this year. I think I might get out some now, it is hard to do when I am in the schedule. I think I might head over to Jersey.

Looks like I missed the opportunity to see Charlie Grant's layout. Thats a new one for me, will have to check it out next year! Seems like a big increase in electrified layouts lately.
