Great products. I built a Z guage trestle with no sweat, and it came out perfect. Lumber, jig and instructions were perfect. Service outstanding. Also, got great scale wood for telephone poles and crossarms.

I just recieved the Black Bear Bridge Construction Kit today, and have read the instruction manual. I have yet to start a bridge construction, but the way you have it laid out I see no problems in building the bridge that I want to nput on my lay out.

I have found that dealing with Black Bear is a real pleasure. I have bilt several bridges and purchased scale wood and products for scratch building. Mike provides great service and a good product. His experience in the details and procedures are invaluable. Jerry Schoenberg MMR

Since that time Mike has produced anew and improved version of the jig along with a wonderful set of instruc- ... More
