Does anyone happen to know the track bed height of Ratio's 3 arch viaduct kit? I'm going to be using one on my new layout but need to work out heights etc

Answered my own question when I did a different web search and got Ratio's "home" page on the Peco site.

Appears the overall height is 130mm so guessing the track bed's not much below that, so I'll probably kit bash a bit and chop a bit off the base of the piers to get a height more suitable for my layout.

A cheaper and more adaptable option is the scalescenes viaduct, I think the extended piers may be extra but may be worth a try. I have built about 5 metres worth them and like the effect.
Some days its just not worth gnawing through the straps.

Those are pretty cool. I prefer plastic kits for the 'feature' elements of my layouts but the scalescenes viaducts look ideal to give me a set of railway arches where the line's descending at the back of the layout.
