Abstract
A trestle support apparatus for use with a model track assembly is provided. The model track assembly includes track sections and trestles of a first configuration and separate track sections and trestles of a second configuration. The trestle support apparatus includes an elongated base including an elongated channel dimensioned to releasably receive and support a trestle of a first configuration. First and second stanchions are releasably mounted to the base.
Claims24
A trestle support apparatus for use with an associated model track assembly, the associated model track assembly including track sections and trestles of a first configuration and separate track sections and trestles of a second configuration, the trestle support apparatus comprising:
- an elongated base including an elongated channel dimensioned to releasably receive and support an associated trestle of a first configuration, said elongated channel being at least partially defined by opposed first and second side walls, a platform, a first arm, including the first side wall, extending outwardly from the platform and a second arm, including the second side wall extending outwardly from the platform and spaced from the first arm, wherein the platform and the first and second arms at least partially define the elongated channel;
- and
- first and second stanchions releasably mounted to the base.
A trestle support apparatus for use with an associated model track assembly, the associated model track assembly including track sections and trestles of a first configuration and separate track sections and trestles of a second configuration, the trestle support apparatus comprising:
- an elongated base including a platform and first and second arms extending outwardly from the platform, the platform and the first and second arms defining an elongated channel dimensioned to releasably receive and support an associated trestle of a first configuration;
- and
- first and second stanchions releasably mounted to the base, the first and second stanchions being in spaced apart relation such that at least two parallel associated track sections of one of the first and second configurations can be positioned beneath the base.
A trestle support apparatus for use with an associated model track assembly, the associated model track assembly including track sections and trestles of a first configuration and separate track sections and trestles of a second configuration, the trestle support apparatus comprising:
- an elongated base including an elongated channel dimensioned to releasably receive and support an associated trestle of a first configuration;
- and
- first and second stanchions releasably mounted to the base, each of the first and second stanchions including a first end section configured to be releasably mounted beneath the base and a second end section configured to be releasably mounted within a second elongated base, the first and second stanchions include a first elongated member and a separate second elongated member, wherein the second elongated member is at least partially telescopically received in the first elongated member.
A trestle support apparatus for use with an associated model track assembly, the associated model track assembly including track sections and trestles of a first configuration and separate track sections and trestles of a second configuration, the trestle support apparatus comprising:
