Minffordd Update: Bridge Replacement

I mentioned in the previous post that one of the inadvertent errors we discovered during our research week in Wales was the design of the bridge which carries the lane running from Boston Lodge to Minffordd over the Cambrian just west of the station.

Himself has wasted no time ripping out the old Peco plastic girders he'd fitted...


And at my end I spent a couple of hours this afternoon making a styrene master of a bow string girder to replace it with.

A wooden palisade fence will be added on top to bring it up to the full height, and I shall cast a couple of extra ones to do the other side of the bridge.

The idea is it should end up looking like this.

Dynamic, decisive action!
