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

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

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.

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!

Kind of reminds me of the old Lone Star footbridge

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.

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

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.

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.

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