The photos are amazing  but to see ithe model was even better the track layout is just a gigantic dog bone but the scenery and the bridge itself is mind blowing I saw it at the three day show at the GCR this year and I just couldn't believe it .it was about 25 ft long so heaven knows how long that would be in N gauge I'm not very good at mathematics but I'm sure someone will work it out and post on here.
I am lucky that I go to so many shows all for nothing ,although I do have to work on the stand sometime .

T gauge is 1/450, so N would be 3x bigger - 75'??

think of the wood needed!

Certainly an awesome model! Look forward to seeing it at Warley.

Absolutely stonking modelling!! Total awe apart from I couldn't find the mute button quick-enough.  I grew-up 10 miles east of it and still go back to my home town and always make the effort to go to S Queensferry most times.  You need the slow roaring and clanking sound to make that vid perfect!!

  :bounce:One of the best I have ever seen and it is fantastic. When I opened the topic I was given negative vibes and told it could not be done I was going to prove them wrong unfortunately I took ill and was unable to proceed. But am glad that they have been proved wrong I am looking forward to see at its next show.

  Can't believe you completed this in only a couple of years, and the surrounding landscape is so well done, too. Congratulations!

Great model. Faithful to the prototype, except for the lack of rain perhaps! Great achievement and wonderful to demonstrate what can be done in T gauge.

Great job - one question - where are the painters? 

[dkightley]

one question - where are the painters?

The Bridge is modelled current day.i.e. 2016.


btw  That's a clue to the answer to a question that's no longer funny!

  That is a totally fantastic achievement well done Doug
regards Derek.

This is a fantastic video of the bridge and to see the quality of the modeling skill was amazing. I am unable to view things now due to ill health. My sons sometimes open up things for me but it is a long time since I have opened the forum. I am glad that when I opened the forum it has caused interest to modellers to prove it can be done. good luck in the future I will be watching more often now.

Wow, wow, wow-ee, wow!

So cool. Was just today contemplating including this somehow on my future N gauge layout (an homage to a trip my wife and I made some years ago) but now I'll pass. There's no way to do it justice in N gauge.

Nice work !!!!

If anyone still hasn't seen this layout, then it will be at South Notts Model rail Show at Cotgrave Welfare, Notts NG12 3PJ on 20th and 21st April (the week after Easter).  The venue is the one that hosted the N-Gauge Society AGM a few years back.

There are also plenty of N-gauge layouts - enough to make it the most represented scale in the show.....
