Hi Mark Great work there, that bridge is really good, very 'corporation green' style, I like it. Thanks

[@HemelDownModelRailway]

Many thanks Peter, will be toned down and weathered slightly too hopefully for the next update 🙂

Nice update there Mark. The corner section is really coming along. The new style bridge is pretty impressive too. Look forward to the next instalment - Riggsy

Nice update Mark. The bridge has come out really nice! especially the side bits. Looking forward to seeing how engine shed area comes together.

[@HemelDownModelRailway]

[@gordonhanning476]

Bridge is looking good mate. Much better than the one I am building

[@newlynnrailway]

Nice work bridge detailing sets it off. looks a monster of a bridge

[@HemelDownModelRailway]

Thanks Clive, yeah it spans a fair distance not far off 2ft 🙂

[@kellyashfordtrains2642]

Make sure the tops of the rails are kept shiny clean. This ensures smooth running is kept up.

[@StanoverModelRailway2020]

More great work on your layout mate. I particularly like how the girder for the bridge has come out. Keep up the good work and see your very soon. Mark.

[@HemelDownModelRailway]

Thanks Mark

good work thanks lee

[@ModelTrainOutsider]

Hello, Mark! That was another grand video, of course, and smashing a hit with that opening shot! Great work all around, but it was kind of cute/funny as you were hammering in track and that shed just kept bouncing around and you would keep moving it. In the end, beautiful work, but you are an artist at work here!

[@HemelDownModelRailway]

Thanks Anthony, yeah thing was bouncing all over the place lol, thanks for your kind words and continued support really appreciated 🙂

[@hillmanhalt]

Great update, glad I found your channel! ...and (sadly) excited to hae seen your basing glue in spray gun form! 🙂

[@HemelDownModelRailway]

Thank you for subscribing, I think you may have seen the IPA in spray form or the layering spray bottles when I used them to weight bits down 🤔, well I hope you enjoy the updates and I also really enjoy watching yours develop- Mark

[@RGJTrains]

[@HemelDownModelRailway]

Many Thanks Rob and Grace

[@lynganddistrict]

HI Mark, managed to catch up with your work, very very impressive. The bridge in particular is excellent and even though it covers the curve I really like the fact that you spent time improving the ground work under it. Well done. Regards Steve

[@HemelDownModelRailway]

Thanks Steve, yeah I wanted to get as much detail in as possible even if it’s not always visible I’ll know it’s there 🙂🙂
