In one of the final builds for the On30 San Lorenzo mini-layout project, I tackle the well-worn wooden trestle over Arroyo de los Burros (Burro Creek). Made almost entirely from basswood, this trestle features many details common to low, narrow gauge trestle bridges here in the west. San Lorenzo was originally an award winning diorama built by my friend, the late Verne Niner. Now I'm bringing it back as a tribute to his Estrella & Sonora Grande with this 2' x 4' On30 mini layout.

Thanks for watching, amigos!
