I got bored so I thought about building a bridge from spare timber I had lying about. It got a bit out of hand, but it is strong enough for me to stand on?  ::)

Still needs a lot of work, and some stonework or something ( I have a tub of tile cement in the garage), but it's getting there. I am trying to build it using whatever I have around the place, without spending a penny on materials. It all comes apart for easy transportation, and varying bridge height.

I have a half finished house upstairs that I making out of a huge cardboard box..but that will have to wait.  :-\

nice job  rob 

Like that Rob G hope you will bring it to Cobatton next month ,yep lads it will so be here.............

This is what happens when you cut your teeth on model railways with acres of landscape...it's coming along....

like the bulldog.. oh and the bride looks good

seriously though that wall effect youve done looks superb

I used to do a lot of that sort of stuff...cost me a fortune after doing three railways, and then it all gets torn up and thrown away. Thats why I want to do this bridge for nothing!

Model Railway

Model Rail Layout

Nice work on the bridge and the trains.  Why throw away the train stuff?

Those two layouts were the smaller ones, the last one I did took up the whole spare bedroom, it was all digital, with Bachmann Loksound loco's and diesels. I also built a control panel linked to all the points, and plumbed in overhead gantry lights etc that I built from plastruct and led's. DCC is good fun, total control over all the trains, can have as many as you like on the same run and all independently controlled from the handset, with controlled acceleration and braking. The sound chips were stunning, there are quite a few examples on You Tube.

Alas, I needed the space..and the cost was going through the roof??

The bridge will be as cheap as chips, and I love the tanks.

Third one sounds awesome.  Did you try to sell it instead of scrapping it?

I sold all of the trains you can see in the vids, and dismantled and threw away everything except the base. Then I bought all new trains, loksound decoders for all the loco's, all new rolling stock and rebuilt the entire layout even bigger. The sounds you can hear aren't loksound, they are amazing. Tanks are cheap by comparison!

Back to the bridge...even more done now...
