‘Dalesmouth Viaduct’… the ‘ironwork’ is finished!

The last three cross members are glued in place, along with their corresponding upper portions of channel.

With the bridge turned over you can see where the bottom sections of channel are missing…

…but not for long. Still upside down, but the last pieces of channel are now in place.

At last. The finished ‘ironwork’ underframe of ‘Dalesmouth Viaduct’ is complete. Now all I’ve got to do is the deck, abutments, central pier and finishing touches. Still, I’m very pleased with my first venture into the use of laser cut parts. Apart from the time it saved, I doubt I could have cut some of the parts by hand anyway. Furthermore, if I had found a way to mass produce the parts by hand, I would probably have lost the will to live before I had finished them.
