Going Nowhere

I'm in receipt of another progress update from Himself, who has now finished the famous 'Bridge To Nowhere'.



This picture shows it in position on the layout.

The bridge is on the extreme front left corner of the layout and you're seeing this as the public will at exhibitions.

Out of shot, to the right of the frame, is the southern portal of Goat Tunnel and the track is curving away on the run towards Cemetery Crossing.

The bend is a little tighter than on the real railway but it's just one of those stretches and squeezes that are necessary to make the location fit into a nice rectangular shape.

The bridge is removable - for the moment - and the next step is to send it off to the Artistic Director to do his thing.

  1. Looks great, Rob! I found a video of the WHR around Beddgelert on YouTube the other day, having watched that a couple of times and re-read some of the blog I'm really looking forward to seeing this at NG South... I best get on with Isle Ornsay, it'll look rather bare in comparison!!!

    Cheers,
    Tom.
