N Viaduct Kit

Product Information

By the way, I like your idea of the crew putting the train on "auto-pilot," so no lives are at risk. The image that creates in my mind makes me smile. Once I was happy with the shape, plaster cloth was then placed over the top and painted with an undercoat. As mentioned elsewhere, I’m now working on an OO gauge shed layout but my N gauge model railway is still quietly progressing. If I was running that motor on the lower level I'd have the throttle wideopen to get out from under before...

That’s it. What do you think? I’d welcome any tips on alternative techniques to what I used or how it might be improved. As always, this blog is about sharing ideas and inspiration so please jump in with a comment below. Passengers are required to get off the train and walk across and re-board the train on the other side.

As a finishing touch for the photograph, I took an N scale figure and placed him in the cab of the locomotive.

Tower assy can be cut or kitbashed to suit as well as modifying any combination of the girder sections Scatter and vegetation were added using the technique covered here and static grass with my favourite applicator. In the diorama, trains will emerge from a tunnel, curve around and over a viaduct and disappear into another tunnel. Initially, I was going to make the viaduct with a 3D pen but decided against this after a few trial runs.While this webbing is not normally visible thanks to the ballast, on the exposed section of the viaduct the plastic under the rails would have been very obvious and ruined the look. Regarding creaks, etc., out of curiosity I once used a dial indicator to measure the deflection of the bridge while an HO scale 20T shay passed over it: The outer edge deflected about .010" while the inside deflected .002". It appears to experience similar stresses as a full scale curved bridge might experience, but Titebond wood glue is strong enough to hold it together. I did consider adding a mid-span support, but I couldn't figure a way to make it look other than really odd, so I laminated strips of wood on a curved form and the next thing you know...
