I've now got a bit further with the bridge over the main street. The bridge has its handrails in place. I soldered up the rails from brass wire fixed into brass angle from Eileen's Emporium, realising again the limits of my soldering skills I have a decent temperature controlled iron but, like a lot of people, I struggle to keep the tip of the bit in perfect clean condition. Anyway, it looks ok to me, and I shall claim that any wonky bits of handrail are due to clumsy plate layers knocking them about. I should like to get better at soldering as I'm still hankering after a Dukedog, possibly a Bulldog or small-cabbed Duke and that means kit building.

I used rivet decals on the girders which were a bit awkward - once they separate from the backing paper it's not easy to tell which way up they are.

The girders and handrails have been sprayed with car primer and will be painted further in due course, when the abutments are completed.
