*Congratulations, explanations and perfect development, A query from Spain, where did you get the base grill for the bridge?*

[@DongitsModelRailway]

It's part of the kit. The bridge is two of these, side by side: laser-model.store/product/00-gauge-28-711mm-twin-arched-girder-railway-bridge/

I am considering having a 2 lane track above my original 3 lanes. What height would you suggest is a suitable height to allow access if anything went wrong on the bottom rails

[@DongitsModelRailway]

Assuming the lower three tracks are effectively hidden loops/sidings/tunnel, you want enough height to stick your arm in above the stock and below the baseboard supports above. You can get away with less if the distance is short.

Sorry small spelling mistake

Your vocal audio is excellent one of the best I’ve heard however if you don’t mind me saying the dead bits of total silence are not so good I personally like a gentle bit of incidental music in the background to fill in as for the context of your video I found it very good , quite informative 👍

[@DongitsModelRailway]

Thanks. Sounds like I made a good technical decision then, even if not necessarily a good financial one...
