Trestle Bridge.
Based on Wickham Bishops trestle bridge over the river Blackwater with slight variations, this is a step by step guide to modelling the main components of this bridge in styrene sheet. The stone supports at either end of the bridge are briefly covered and further details of their construction can be found in Random Stone Walls. The bridge itself, is a fairly straight forward bit of model making ideal for the beginner. Most of the trestle bridge is constructed from
Lattice Footbridge and Steps.
Based on a G.N.R. foot bridge that existed at Kimberley station,nottingham, this is a step by step guide to modeling the main components of this bridge, from styrene sheet. The stone support structures for this bridge are not included in this build because similar structures of that type have already been covered in other blogs. The build method is very similar to an earlier construction for Kimberley Station, with slight alterations due to lessons le
Modelling Stone Paving for Snitzl Town.
Random stone paving can take hell of a long time model, I know, I've tried it.
To help speed up the process, a method that requires only four stone sizes was developed, and if each stone was perfectly positioned, no trimming.
However, I'm not that good and a little trimming is required.

Building the stone steps and walkways for Snitzl Town.
A step by step illustrated guide to building the stone steps and walkways on the market place of Snitzl Town. The model is based on a walk way / railway bridge that existed on Main St, Kimberley, Nottingham.
The individual components of this model bolt together to form a complete assembly, an idea I've carried on into other modules of Kimberley Station, that I will post soon.
Random Stone Walls and Cover Stones.
Step by step guide to building random stone walls from styrene sheet, the slow and hard way. This illustrated guide shows the methods used to create walls on both Snitzl Town and a club layout by Ilkeston Woodside MRC of Kimberley Station, Notts.
The walls of Kimberley, as I call them, took about 8 months to complete. Not to be out done , Snitzl Town will have more.
Thanks for Looking.....
