Second section takes shape.

A dry run to check fit of the pier assemblies. The screwed rods are to allow accurate adjustment between the piers and arch sections. All the holes through which they pass are oversize to allow for this prior gluing together and for final bolting to the 'undercarriage'. They will also serve as 'droppers' for track power so no need for wiring through the piers.

 

The next (big) job will be cladding the piers with plasticard and the curved brick etches.

 

Also the same with the arches.

 

Much happier with this one, than the first. Mind you it's always the same in that you finally get it right when building the last one!:rolleyes:

 

Only three more to go!:P

I can see you've been busy, John - very well done and it's looking really good.

 

I think the idea of feeding the track current via the vertical bolts is brilliant, by the way!

A handy repercussion of deciding the bolts were to be a permanent rather than temporary feature!
