Hi,

Thanks for your comments

 

The turreted bridge which is nearest to MOSI (Museum of Science and Industry) is the Castlefield Viaduct Bridge - 1894 (Trial build is shown in My Gallery), the one which I am currently building is immediately behind and alongside, which also has turrets this one being the Cornbrook Viaduct Bridge #2 - 1877. The #1 bridge, which is also behind the Castlefield Viaduct does not have turrets

Ahh, right. I was mesmerised by a lot of the bridges around that area, they certainly wanted to show Manchester off to the World with the wonderfully intricate designs of something as normal as a bridge.

Driven past a lot of it when I worked just off Eccles New Road, but never really noticed much of it. It was nice to walk and take the time to notice.

Have visited MOSI today, and whilst sat on a carriage behind Planet, I chanced to glance across the main line and noticed a turreted bridge very similar to this one. Am I right in thinking this is the Castlefield Viaduct you are modelling?

Absolutely fantastic modelling by the way, it's been a joy to read this thread.
