Latest update...
Over the last week ive been scratch building the last bridge for the layout.
Hangmans bridge as it was nicknamed,apprentley someone once hung themselves off it years ago.
About 10 years ago it got demolished as it was probably rotten.
Due to where the stairs come up in the loft the baseboard at that point is only 12 inches wide due to space to access the top of the flight of stairs.
The real bridge had 4 brick pillars,two either side of the tracks and two built into the embankment.
As i simply dont have the space at this part of the baseboard ive had to build a smaller representation of it and leave out the end two pillars that were built into the embankment.
Photo of the real bridge that ive been working from..
Brick pillars from 12mm ply then the usual plasticard.
Then for the timber handrails...
All done just needs painting and weathering,especially the brickwork.
The deck of the bridge,the whole thing should hopefully look a lot better when painted.
Cheers
Ben
