7mm The Derby Line: Basford North

Another test fit now the balustrade is in place... it doesn't quite fit! Just some minor alterations to the pilasters are required..

Bridge 276 looks better with some primer on, it will be a week or two before it is fully installed.

The bridge girders look very impressive, Tony. I see you've overcome the slight problem by inserting an extra row of bricks under the cap stones.
In an previous photo of the prototype, I got the impression that there was central beam between the tracks of the GC main line. Was there and, if so, are you including a representation on the model?

Thank Dave - yes - the GC built most their girder bridges with separate spans for up and down lines. I miscalculated the width of the track bed, so I will see if I can squeeze a representation in.

Tony
