Here is a great pic of a steel trestle under construction. Could be used as a scenic effect:

Very cool!

Great picture - thanks!  I've never seen a bridge under construction being modeled - that would be a neat idea.

Someone has done it

Someone built a model of that exact bridge under construction as a diorama in the late 70s I think.  I recall seeing it as a prize winner at an NMRA convention contest in a magazine.  He even modelled the construction derrick shown in the photo.  It was well done, but probably months of work.
