RMweb Gold TravisM Posted August 25, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 25, 2021 I wonder if anyone can help, I’m looking for pictures of the bridge that carries the Sleaford avoiding line over the line to Boston and Skegness. I want to use it as a view block between the scenic side and fiddle yard of my Sleaford East Junction layout. If there are few pictures, could someone direct me to a suitable bridge kit, so I can do a reasonable representation of it. Thanks in advance.

great central Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 I'll be going under that bridge tomorrow. If I'm not otherwise engaged, 9.45 or something to Skegness on a Friday before a bank holiday that'll be quiet then, I'll try to get a piccie. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold russ p Posted August 26, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 26, 2021 I was stood on top of it today for 10 min. Shame I hadn't seen this before 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
great central Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Is this any help? Deciding exactly when to take the picture while travelling backwards at 50 or so is a bit hit and miss. I'll see if I can get one on the way back as well 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was struggling to find pictures or taking them without trespassing on the railway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrea506 Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 That looks like a new bridge, presumably the original was in poor condition and had to be replaced. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickham Green too Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Possibly upgraded to take heavier traffic ? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
