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!

I hope they didn't shatter when they landed on the ground.

I'll get my coat.

Fully enclosed supports weren't common - they should be opened out to four columns (with or without cross bracing). You might also want to consider adding smoke deflectors for a period feel.

Are you aiming for something prototypical? I ask as it doesn't shout "LMS" to me - lattice sided bridges were much more characteristic of the railway than metal sheet or concrete sided ones. Have a look at some photos of the real thing - there's plenty to be found online.

I have DCC and DC (different layouts) and it retrospect I'd just be a straight DC guy (I like roundy roundy stuff too). Personally I'd see if you can go to a show and pickup a 2nd hand MRC Tech 4 or Tech 2, just make sure that it works before buying.  I picked up a 2nd hand Dual Tech4 for CDN$40, and I also have an old Tech 2, both work great with everything from my 45 yr old ROCO and Farish stuff right up to my latest Kato / Atlas / Minitrix

A good paint job including some smoke staining above the tracks, some advertising hoardings, lots of humans and maybe some barrows under the steps should see that blend in nicely.
It would look even better if you could somehow add some cover to the pedestrian areas, I reckon

A friend printed 3 bridges on his 3D printer for me. Here's a photo of the best one. I plan to ultimately paint it in LMS maroon. Open to any feedback re accuracy & other details. Thanks in advance, Rob

This has caught my eye.

I'd love to know about any real world experience with this model from the gang here.

What are you looking for in a controller?

I'm a DC roundy-round guy. I want to hear some more of the locos sounds. Maybe run 2-3 locos in a consist.

The hand-held is supposed to help that.

If you order from Rails today their pricing includes the relevant tariffs so everything is delivered duty paid.
