More Progress On Station Road Bridge (16/03/2014)

After a lengthy delay I am pleased to announce some progress on the road bridge build. Part of the delay was determining the height of the station building above the tracks. The only known measurements were those taken from the footbridge. These were used to determine the floor level of the station by means of a 3D CAD Drawing.

Once this was produced i got slightly side tracked in producing this, however this will feature in another topic but thought it worthy of a mention as it will be seen a few times featured in pictures posted on this thread

OK Back to this topic.

The pillars in various states of completion.

Many may notice that the pillar ends in previous posts have had to be extended. This was due to a slight error on my part, assuming the pillars sat on the gravel bed on the layout... actually they sat on the wood structure and so had to be extended.

Just when you think you are making progress another unknown comes to light. This time via Rod ( of this parish - 10800) !! in the form of Retaining Walls. These are obviously now overgrown with vegetation or in the case of the one on the platform side removed.

Fortunately not too much rework is needed to incorporate these into OUR model

Edit: Photo removed due to copywright issue

Work on the support structure for the road bridge roof can now start in earnest
