Dempsey Posted August 21, 2023 Author Posted August 21, 2023 Phase one of the bridge is complete and ready for painting. I've been using the fert for clearance testing as it is the tallest wagon but also tried it with container loaded flats. Phase two will see the decline of the road down off the bridge to ground level. Your thoughts as always are appreciated. 4 Quote
Gabhal Luimnigh Posted August 21, 2023 Posted August 21, 2023 Looking fine, what are you doing on the left side of the bridge? Do you need the second support so close to the other? Just an observation, not a grouch. Quote

The left side would appear to have been for a long since removed line. 2 hours ago, DJ Dangerous said: I think that's how it is in the video. 1 2 Quote

Dempsey Posted August 23, 2023 Author Posted August 23, 2023 A few details remain but for the most paint I'm delighted with how it all turned out. Your thoughts as always are appreciated. 10 4 Quote

Thank you very much. A lot of screen shoots were taken which has allowed me to pick out a lot of those details 2 Quote
Dempsey Posted September 3, 2023 Author Posted September 3, 2023 The scene continues to slowly develop. Here no.156 carries out some shunting of a loaded container flat. More weathering and scenery work will follow but for now this is the only part of the layout to get any due to working around the bridge supports themselves. Your thoughts and comments as always are appreciated. Chris 12 Quote

Thank you. As I've said many times the buildings and now the bridge has been the must enjoyable part of it all and it has to be said a challenge given I'm working off video 1 Quote
