    Thanks.
    Actually it pretty simple. All the bents are the same just longer or shorter. All wood is bass wood. Ties are precut and stained. All you need to do is scribe 3 arcs on a sheet of paper one with the center line radius you want and one with the inside radius of the bridge and one with the outside radius. All sub framing on bridges is straight wood. For your bents one template will make all you need. While your bents are drying work on sub track frame. I used Elmers wood glue by the way. I recently installed a guide rail on the bridge.
