Superrams Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Hi guys, I have just completed the track laying on my layout, which comprises of a 4 track through road through a station, but i am struggling to find an overbridge from platform to platform. The span i need to cover is 11 inches centre to centre I didn't think of this when laying the trackwork as i thought i would pick one up easily, but i'm finding that this is not the case. I have measures Hornby's plastic offering, and the Skaledale one, and also the Metcalfe example, all of which are just too short. Are there any out there that can be extended at all ?

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted January 22, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 22, 2012 Try this lady's offering. Buy two and extend away! At this price you are not risking too much. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dapol-C04-Footbridge-NEW-00-Gauge-/130633603592?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item1e6a5e9a08 She is a seller I can recommend, by the way, and I believe also runs a bricks-and-mortar shop, in Preston.

Black Sheep Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 is the scalescenes one suitable? i've often found that kits give more clearance than needed, the Dapol (ex airfix) one will happily span twin tracks not stood on the platform while giving plenty of clearance for stock to pass under. It is however, easily manipulated to any shape and configuration you desire and makes a decent model. I shortened the upper sets of stairs to make it a tighter, and more realistic clearance to stand on the platforms of my last railway, if you're having OHLE then you won't notice the distance.

'CHARD Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Yes I've bought from kitlady a number of times. Always good service. Kitlady has furnished plenty of stock on Teviotbank.

carl1962 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Kitlady has furnished plenty of stock on Teviotbank. Recommended (no connection other than as satisfied customer). Ive been buying off her since 89/90 when she used to have a stall at the boot sale at Clitheroe and have never had a bad experience. Would highly recommend both "kitlady" and her shop in Oyston Mill in Preston. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
