Tuxcraft Viaduct

[Hobo]

Hi guys, has anyone got either a curved (prefered) or straight (would make do) viaduct from the good people at Tuxford lying redundant?

Typically, now I want one, they're no longer in production:thumbdown: (and they're sold out "in the yard" too )

I'll keep my fingers crossed........................................

Have you considered the Cain Howley version? A much better moulding IMO and more flexible too as it's made from individual components.

gotta agree with mell, the Cain Howely is miles better

I totally agree with the above statements - my current plan is to site the viaduct on the "blind" side of the return loop, so the one piece Tuxcraft offering would be more convenient.
If I have to fork out the extra cost of the Cain Howley ones, the exspence and better looks will mean changing tack and putting 'em "at the front"

If I wasn't doing this in the middle of winter, I'd probably have a go at casting my own......................

"been there,got the T shirt"

Very Grand

Even though the weather is unseasonably mild at the moment, I just know that as soon as I put the shuttering up and mix the concrete we'll get a "cold snap"

Go on make your own

Mix it with hot water, at about 15 degrees and cover it afterwards, and you'll probably get away with it.

Remember the water in concrete is there for a chemical reaction, not to evaporate

Hi all, hi Hobo, about 3weeks ago glendale junction had a Tuxford viaduct for sale --but idont know if they still have one , might be worth acall regards Dave --

Many thanks ~ I'll get on to it

As for mixing the conny with hot water - my neighbours already think I'm a bit mad, so picture the scene.
White over with frost and snow/raining while I'm going up and down the garden in a veritable fog, stirring a cauldron can you imagine what they'd think?

(Seriously, thanks for the tip though - I may use it on the platforms which now need re-siting!)
