Black Bear Construction Co are a US manufacturer who make Trestles & Bridges but come at it a different way than simply providing a kit for such and such a bridge. Black Bear provide Jigs, Tools & Templates to allow you to custom build a bridge or trestle to suit your layout.

The range is extensive and initially NG Trains will only stock a few selected items and then expand the range if there is the demand.
