    Hello Mark,

     

    Just ordered a copy of your father`s book. Not sure why I hadn`t done so before . It would be interesting to see other photos of this bridge so thanks in advance. My bridge is actually taken from a rather poor photo of the one at Duible between Helmsdale and Kildonan but the abutments are all but invisible in these photos hence me using those from the Achnasheen bridge.  The intention was never to model one specific bridge but just to produce a generic one. 

    The Thurso and Forsinard sections will be as faithful  to reality as possible but the section between these two, the Flow Country is essentially freelance, taking various interesting elements that are found along this section of the line such as the snow fences and abandoned croft etc 

     

    Thanks Mark

      Hi Nigel,

       

      Just sent from from my email account; if it doesn't come through let me know and I will send via the firm's file transfer system.

       

      Pleased to have helped with some inspiration somewhere along the way!  I enjoyed the Nottingham show; I recall they had a "most realistically operated layout" competition which I threatened to enter and then point out they had missed a train about 20 mins before hand and the next cam past a 7pm, would they mind waiting?  They couldn't but score me correctly!!

       

      I am also down for at least one of the Sutton Loco Works class 24/1; I have one Bachie class 37 and will get at least one of the Accursacale ones - obviously large logo!

      Hi Nigel and thanks for the message.

       

      I have lots of pictures of lattice pictures on the far north and Kyle lines if you need them.  I also realise that my note about the 1982 photos wasn't clear, they are of Forsinard and are by Ian Ford.  Let me have your email address and i will get them over.

       

      Keep u the good work!

       

      Mark
