Re: WEST ORTON
Your pipe work looks great. Given me food for thought regarding my factory buildings.

Re: WEST ORTON
I always keep the sprues from plastic kits as they can often be fashioned into pipework.
Most people are shocked when they find out how bad I am as an electrician

While I am patiently waiting for a series of 15 hour prints to finish for my bridge, the postman delivered this from eBay.
Someone spotted this and posted on the Hornby Forum - looked useful and not expensive at £25.

Re: WEST ORTON
Progress update on the bridge. I’ve completed the first cross brace (very fragile) by splitting the original design into two smaller sections which needed 16 hours of printing. Also completed the main sections for the bridge sides although I have a ‘special’ panel for the bridge centre which I had to design myself - that print should be done around 10pm this evening.

Re: WEST ORTON
Will you still be able to do track cleaning etc., without destroying the bridge?
Nurse, the screens!

Re: WEST ORTON
That's going to look spectacular - I like the utility(?) pipes running along the base of the bridge - nice touch.
Re: WEST ORTON
The intention is that the bridge structure will be removable. It’s quite likely it will need fixing down to preserve its structural integrity in which case the Sharge and Dapol cleaners should take care of any issues.Walkingthedog wrote: ↑Sun Apr 23, 2023 12:34 pm Will you still be able to do track cleaning etc., without destroying the bridge?
