Ouse Viaduct/Balcombe/Lewes project

That really is one very impressive structure chaps. Nigel must have been a very talented craftsman. So do you have any idea on a timescale?

Nigel certainly was!

 

John is itching to get on and experiment a bit with baseboard methodologies for 'Fremo' type modular sections so that the layout can be shortened or lengthened to suit circumstances. I would like to think we can get on with it properly once DRAG TT2 is out of the way but there's still a lot of planning and research to do yet!

 

Also, having visited the viaduct last week, we are rethinking how best to use Nigel's model given the importance of the oval pier cut-outs to the character of the structure. It would be a shame to cut out the piers on Nigel's model even if we could, so it may be that we will have castings made of the piers - and the balustrades, and the porticos. At this rate we might yet end up scratchbuilding the thing leaving Nigel's viaduct for other purposes!
