You might try searching the web at trestles101. I believe it has a printable template.

Ken,

That is a very useful website.

Shawn has a very nice scale plan!

I seem to remember that there was a Bent Template pull out in Garden Railways some years ago. Does anyone else remember that and if so what issue it was?

That may have been the site I based my plans on. Good info.

I made my template on graph paper then transferred it to some scrap plywood. Attached blocks to create a jig and started building bents. I can make almost any height bent within minutes.

Here’s what’s left of my trestle page: http://www.largescale-trains.com/trestle.htm
