Gentlemen; What some of you have said, actually most of what has been said is in our minds. That remark about getting rid of a few arches of my viaduct will cost you a few beers Kim, when I get over there; no we do not want to do that unless we have too. The idea of modifying the fence has occured to us and if we must we must, but that will be a last resort. What we have decided to do is to remove the arches and complete the bridge without them but we will paint the arches and be ready to use them once we are happy with the bridges operation wihout them. To complete the bridge we have added 25 mm sides to it to hold the ballast, drilled 6 mm weep holes in its base, as we have done with our ramps. We then painted the lot with a thick grey paving paint as well, we have painted the insides of the weep holes using a cotton bud. The base of the bridge is now in place and we have worked out that we neeed to put 2 pylons underneath it to give us better rigidity and be in keeping with the other work we have done elsewhere. We are waiting on two R3 electric points I bought on ebay and another shipment of track. When they arrive we will connect the whole thing up and try to run our Mallet over it as far as we can, and observe same carefully. Some of the ideas we have to make it fit and work is : a) cut off the rear arch and attach it to the fence post. b) raising both the arches and possibly move them to the left. 3) cut a bit out of the fence post so that the rear of the Mallet will not foul it when turning. Any ideas that anyone has will be appreciated. What you ghad to say Underworld did not fill me with confidence that you are seriously considering this matter. And it is a serious and interesting subject. Regards ian
