I am after some information off members who have had these kits because the measurements on there site seem to be a bit off putting, I am looking for the height from the road on the bridge to the top of the wall, I am looking at Metcalfe's site and I am getting a total height of the bridge as 69mm and to the top of the road being 55mm so that would give a wall height of 14mm to me that would give a 2 metre height of the wall and that seems a little to high maybe anyone who has built the kit can tell me the measurement of the wall height from the road.

Just seen your post Geoff - been doing other things!

The wall height is indeed 14mm - as Metcalfe say on the website.  Adding the pavement to the roadside does take it down a smidgeon.  I remember one or two bridges like this and the wall/parapet was much higher than me but then again maybe I was shorter then:)

Thanks for that, I can get on with my planning.

if it's a problem, you could always use one of their sheets to thicken the roadbed over the bridge and add pavements.
