Double Steel Trestle Bents

[alhoop]

I am in need of about 6 bents, some up to 55 ft. in height. See photo.
Anyone know of a source for either the bents or drawings of same?
Thanks
Al




PS
I found a drawing for a single bent - guess I could double 'em up -  it sez it is an iron bent  - anyone know when
steel replaced iron?

PSS: Here is a neat site - I found out that what I called double bents is referred to as a tower.

You may have to move that building, judging you have a joint on that curve right above the building. I would suggest a set of bents forming a square at the top to support the joint above the building. It would be kinda odd with just a single bent.

Actually, the tree just beyond the building falls directly under the joint so that tree will have to be moved as will the
dark green tree under the first span so I can install double bents, as in the title. The joint that is above and just to
the right of the double tracks will get a single bent as there is no room for a double. This should be ok as the bridge
will be anchored on each side with double bents. The joint that falls above the tunnel to the left will require a weird bent.
Thanks for the reply.

What about concrete pillars? At least at the tunnel.

Concrete piers are hot and sexy. 

You can carve them out of wood, cast them out of plaster, or build them up out of styrene sheet for a fraction of the cost of a ME kit.

I vote for concrete pillars
