Quote from: port perran on Today at 11:21:57 AMMy thoughts are that it isn't really relevant to an LMS themed layout and to me the double access steps on either side look a little strange.

Double access is fairly common at very large and busy stations but not at smaller ones.

Thanks for your feedback! So if it's not LMS, what other region/railway would it be? My hunch is that it's a bit generic.


Looks very reminiscent of Southern Railway pre-fab concrete construction to me.

Quote from: Newportnobby on Today at 12:48:20 PMEpic intro to this track but I very much suspect Rush are an acquired taste :hmmm:

Hmmmm. I don't know much about Rush but was quite enjoying that until the vocals kicked in.

As for intros, I've always rather liked this from The Stone Roses :

I think that those concrete footbridges were used by the Southern quite extensively rather than other regions but someone might well prove me wrong.
Having said that, there was one at Trowbridge where I grew up (GWR/WR territory) but that was a footpath crossing rather than at the station.
I imagine it's still there.

Thanks! Yes, it was the double-access and its height (being slightly too tall) that were my main concerns.

I kit bashed this Ratio SR concrete footbridge to give alternative directions of ascent on each platform because the platforms are staggered. You would not provide an access route just to a platform end, as you have at the back of your model.

The Ratio kit also has open supports as mentioned above, and is an SR modular design. Helps my layout look southern.

Kind of reminds me of the old Lone Star footbridge

The footbridge would also look better with intermediate landings on the four main staircases, with an equal number or risers to each side. The headroom (i.e. top of track to u/s of the main span) should be no less than 35mm to represent approximate standard headroom clearances. Say 40mm just in case!
