What's Great About Frame Bent Jigs

What's So Great About Black Bear Frame Bent Trestle Jigs

The August 2002 Press Release gives a good summary of what is so special about this series of trestle jigs.  Also, there are photos on page two of the press release.

This jig is the perfect tool for building great looking trestle bents in three different styles.


The FALSE FRAME BENT has the look of the prototype without the difficulty of construction. The NOTCHED FRAME BENT looks like the prototype but is much stronger. The legs are continuous from the top cap to the ground. The TRUE FRAME BENT is prototype modeling at its best. You will be surprised by how easy it is to build this bent.


The frame bent jigs are available in N, HO, S, and O scales; and four distinctive railroad designs:

The full size drawing shows all the detail you need.  (Click on the part number in the price list to see the drawing that comes with the jig.)   The eight pages of instructions show you step-by-step how to build the trestle just like you want it.   You can select the style of trestle bent that meets your needs in terms of strength, detail, prototypical accuracy, or skills required.   You can build the Flase Frame Bent, Notched Frame Bent, or True Frame Bent in any of the designs mentioned above.
