Prototype question:
When a timber trestle bridge crosses water, is it usual to have the timber
bents permanently submerged? Or is it usual to have stone or concrete piers
supporting the trestle bents?
I’ve tried google, but can’t find a clear answer. There are some pics of the
bents resting in water, but it’s not clear to me whether this is common, or
even if it is just the result of abnormally high water.
Any advice (or links) would be appreciated.
Cheers

Well, I have say the person who made the bridge at the NMRA show has set the
standard.
