Will you be making steps so you can double stack them?



And the corrugated container version?

oh yes!

 

[BrushType4]

Glazed and ready for black coat and the door.

 

[Pencarrow]

Looks good. Don't forget that most portacabins these days generally have metal mesh grills over the windows and metal shutters that can be locked over them. (plus much mud on the floors)

 

[BrushType4]

Rushed it a bit this morning and managed to drop it too..

Anyway. As a quick mock up it’s not too bad.

 

[Osgood]

Never mind portacabins - what's with the LNWR sheds on the website?
Is this the 'factory northlight wall panel'?
Do you have any complete buildings schemed out, or are these intended for use with bespoke designs?

Yes, it’s Northlight wall panel. No kits in stock but I can get some ready once my backlog is clear.

Making up a over bridge based on Ribble.



Close up




Under arch brick work

Not sure about these but they are difficult to shape unless I do it by hand.

 

[Barnaby]

Some great detail there Phil.

 

[BrushType4]

A few more pictures...

 

[Pencarrow]

Superb rendering of the brickwork.

Just one question, does the prototype bridge have the archring brickwork on a skew? It's very unusual for a bridge that is perpendicular to the railway to have such an arrangement - was the prototype bridge on a skew? If you've unskewed the bridge the archring needs unskewing.

(sorry, occupational hazard of being a civil engineer.) Happy to be corrected if this is per the prototype.

Dunno, I stand corrected!

Very impressive, will it be painted a shimmering pink?

A very worn red brick. Not as pink though. I have some pink ones coming up though, a trio of North Norfolk bridges are within spitting distance of the work bench.

That's an impressive (pink) structure!

The photo clearly shows what I was on about. On skew bridges the arch brickwork is arranged diagonally.

The photo also shows something I've never seen modelled. Note how the ends of the arch brick courses are inclined at the base of the arch which gives a stepped appearance. Whereas at the crown the ends are vertical. The transition between the two would be an absolute s*d to do properly. Thankfully not required on bridges without a skew.

Very impressive and put me down for a structure on the skew as that is far more prototypical than the square on

We say that we are a world of technology nowadays, but those guys built these bridges by hand hundreds of years ago

I think I have a plan on how to recreate that. This particular bridge is to be supplied built and painted so plenty of flexibility to get the scalpel out and do things old school.

The 90 degree corners look great Phil. Once you have LL sorted we can look at Arley road bridge and platforms.

I've become quite mesmerised by the brickwork on skew arches - a nice example in cream brick is to be found on the bridge leading to Victoria Station, Norwich:

Absolutely fascinating the patterns that are created by various degrees of skew. Plain bridges crossing at 90deg are positively dull by comparison (but a load easier to build!).

The old brickes were a skilled bunch. They would have had to get the brick angle spot on to ensure the arch landed in the right place.
