Here are a few views of a pair of Sn3 single span trestles on curves, based on the RGS bridges on the Ilium wye. Scenery was never finished on the module, as my interest turned back to the C&S:
When the abutment panels were skewed relative to the stringers, based on a couple of prototype photos, the ties were beveled to fit and support the guard rails.
The stringers were 24 feet long, and due to the length of the spans were heavier than the typical (16 foot) trestle stringer. Track radius on the curved legs of the modeled wye was 28" in S scale, equivalent to 21" in HO scale. My C-class engines didn't have any problems with the curves.
BTW, Happy Thanksgiving!
