Fewer details than Blair Line 067 - Wood...
There are TWO Blair Line N Scale wood trestle kits, that at first appear to be identical. I bought my first trestle kit several years ago, and I kind of mangled the round posts (piles), so bought another kit last month for spare parts. Surprise, the posts are not the same. With the first one, Timber Trestle Kit #067, there are no supporting cross members; the posts are just "sunk into the ground" for support. The new one, Pile & Frame Trestle #071, has horizontal cross-braces - "wood sill" - that the square posts/piles sit on. I am happy with the extra support, but not so happy with the short-cuts with #071. The track assembly in #071 is missing the inside Guard Rails that were provided in kit #067, and there are some smaller detailed pieces that sick out from the longitudinal "stringers" that run under the ties below the main rails. Not a problem; I replaced the round piles from #067 with the square piles (and sills) from #071, and they look fine with the extra details of kit #067.
