The weather forecast put the dampeners on the day. The odd light shower turned nasty after 4pm when we were looking to finish and pack away. The train ride members getting pretty soaked.
Some pictures taken early on before I got the britannia into steam.
The viaduct is built from 3 ply cardboard from my usual supplier Kellogg’s & co. The arches are formed by using a role of masking tape as a template and the height is decided by a Lima German tank wagon which is out of scale. The paving stones are reclaimed OO Metcalf kit from the old scenic break, which fell apart. It is painted using Humbrol Enamels 70 Brick Red, 121 Stone, 32 Dark Grey, inside the viaduct is 33 Matt Black, 34 Matt White for the road markings. The 2 other arches have pictures of farm buildings in using the arch as a frame.
