Andy_C Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 The viaduct design has given me some ideas. The viaduct I may go for is at Mansfield, and is north east of the current station. West of the station in the 50’s and 60’s was goods sidings, and further along was a TMD for steam. Lovely work. I may come back to you to ask you for a bit more detail on the viaduct structure itself once I get the room sorted? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having just googled the viaduct at Mansfield, that's a big structure. Looks like the ground level may have been built up in recent years to shorten it.

I’m not sure I’d want to have it’s complete length in the layout. More thinking needed, I think. It will be a couple of months before I start, so I have time. Thanks again, Andy. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Kris Posted January 31, 2022 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted January 31, 2022 Things have been very stationary on this for some time now. One of the things that I feel has held this layout back is not having a fiddle yard that would fit into the shed. As such I have not been able to run the layout, something that is never good for the mojo. In the last couple of weeks however I have started to fiddle again. I have been planning how to create a fiddle yard. This requires a complete rejig of the shed to make things fit. I have managed to get some of this sorted out today. To help with the fiddle yard, I had a bit of luck about a year ago picking up over 30 electro frog medium radius points for £50. 1 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be good to see pictures of the progress it’s a great layout. Looking forward to seeing more. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Work has stolen all of my time for the past year now. I have been trying to rebuild some of the track and build boards to get round to a full circuit but progress is glacial. 2 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
drduncan Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Dear Kris, I hope work has not been consuming too much of your time and that you’ve been able to work on Coombe viaduct and Saltash. Any updates you can share? Regards Duncan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
