Bridge Disaster

Re:Bridge Disaster

Well, what to say?

I can only pass on the wisdom that I received from Sandy Taylor of Scottish Garden Railways when he saw a photo of my line in the garden and suggested a land grab outside the fence line. I explained that there was a 15ft drop to the adjacent lane, and he replied to the effect that the Victorian railway builders faced bigger challenges than that :cool::cool:

Here's to The Bridge Mk 2 :clown::clown:

Re:Bridge Disaster

Wow Nico, I feel your pain...
You could use it as a launch slide for testing the resilience of various makes of kit....:o:
 
Re:Bridge Disaster

Oh, sh.....


and not only the bridge, often the tracks are pulled out for many yards.
It looks like a murphys law-thing:
if the bridge would have been 2 yard beside, the tree would have fallen down there....

Re:Bridge Disaster

So sorry to see the damage to your bridge Nico :crying:
I'm always worried about next doors Leylandii which is over 30ft tall just know if it does come down it will hit my railway :nail:
 
Re:Bridge Disaster

Do you not mean when rather than if.

Faced with the same prospect here, next door has a 40 Ft + tree which has a lean towards us, it was one of pair of twins, until a decade ago.:nail:
 
Re:Bridge Disaster

Last year several branches fell from a neighbour's tree one of which knocked the station from my rack line. Despite my representations the tree, a triple trunked sycamore with some rot in one trunk, is still there. The house is rented with the owner living in London.
