Trestle Buddy -- Flexible Roadbed Trestle Alignment System

Keep your HO Scale trestle in perfect alignment from assembly through final installation with this ingenious flexible roadbed system. The Trestle Buddy is a chain of flexible joints that keep the bents properly spaced, and the top caps aligned in a plane to simplify installing sectional or flex track. It also holds the completed trestle securely while you install it on your layout. Once in place, remove the Buddy and add stringers, or leave in place and ballast it to model a decked trestle. Ideal for straight trackage, the complete flexibility allows easy construction of large, small or S curve trestles too. One kit installs up to 6 bents of any height over a distance of 11 to 14" 27.9 to 35.5cm and several can be combined to build longer structures. Each kit is complete with 8 plastic joints, nuts and bolts to secure track, rubber bands to temporarily hold bents in place, plus an illustrated assembly/use manual.
