Road overbridges cast in situ with concrete

[ge_rik]

I've been busy over Easter. I decided to add some detail to a neglected corner of the line by adding a cottage (courtesy http://stantonabbey.com/index.htm < Link To Stanton Abbey Pottery) [no commercial interest other than a satisfied customer], a road and a couple of overbridges. Rather than trying to make the bridges out of wood and then making them look like stone, I thought I'd have a go at casting them in concrete coloured to represent the local red sandstone.

They don't bear close scrutiny but do fit the bill in that they are tailor-made for their locations (and probably only cost around £1.00 each to make). As previously, I've posted a step-by-step overview of what I did on my blog for those who might want to learn from my mistakes..............
