Bridge work

Other things are also progressing on the Lyn Valley North Western. I've been building bridges lately. Here is the area I've been working on.


This is a shot of the area to be crossed from the other side. Total length of the bridge will be 310'.
I added 2 micro engineering 50' bridges and 2 - 30' bridges.
The rest of the CV bridge has been built in this shot as well. All have been painted with Polly Scale Grimey Black. I will go over it with some rust after all has been fit into place.
I originally had built another tower to go between the CV 150' and the 30' ME bridge but soon discovered it wouldn't match the width of the CV bridge. I then decided to try my hand at some plaster pillars. I made it a bit long but it fits the bill as far as width goes. I'll have to shorten it or bring the landscaping up to the side of it. I scratch built another bent to support the transition between the 30' & 50' ME bridges as well. Made it too long too. Will have to shorten it as well.
The bridge track has been curved to match the bridge in this shot. I'll be airbrushing it Rail Brown next before it's final mounting on top of the bridge.Hope to make some bridge abutments tonight. Once these are made I will be able to glue it all together into it's final resting place. Will post more pictures as things develop.
