28XX Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Comer road crosses the Worcester to Hereford line 1/4 mile West of Henwick level crossing in the suburb of St Johns, Worcester. The bridge plate says 1883, the houses and shops nearby look to be of a similar age. It has brick abutments and two narrow piers in the 10' ways between the main lines and the sidings to either side. The deck is made of iron girders, not sure if cast or forged, brick parapets and limestone pad stones and copings. Photo survey here. https://www.flickr.com/photos/56473165@N03/albums/72157662935810643 I have built a card model of it using Scalescenes brown brick printed on "ivory" 80GSM paper. The copings and pad stones are paper wraps cut from a sheet of the same paper printed with 50% black in Paint.net. My bridge is asymmetric, crossing 3 track not 4. Some construction sketches (with an aborted freelance design idea) and construction photos here. https://www.flickr.com/photos/56473165@N03/albums/72157662886215393 Hope this is of interest. Stevo.

RMweb Gold ikcdab Posted April 1, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 1, 2016 This looks fantastic, thanks. I do love bridges and heavy, solid ones in brick even more. Sad or what? Well done and thanks for posting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
