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.

Regards
Tony

Point rodding has reached the signal box now, it took a bit of working out to take each rod to enter the box in the correct position on the lever frame to match with the lever number. I've run out of rodding now, but there are just five rods to take East under the Park Lane Bridge.
