I came across these photos of the Barwick St. area on the L&PS. It's 1922 and the bridge has just been completed. It's a great spot for watching trains. WayneCredits: L&PS Track -UK Fine Scale by Tim Booth Tank Cars - Chris BonelliThe London & Port Stanley is a route I have under construction in my spare time with no timetable for release. You can follow my progress at my web site - L&PS The Barwick St. Bridge, built in 1921, looking north. Motor Cars 2 and 4 with trailers 1 and 3 approach Barwick St northbound in 1922. Compare the shot above with this William D. Middleton photo. (Scanned from the October 1957 Trains Magazine and shown here with permission.)
Wayne, I saw these on your website before, and now I can tell you how amazed I am at your successes in recreating a particular scene. This is very nice! Something occurs to me looking at this. You are not using Xtracks at all, right? Just the UK low-profile track? Ta!Tim
Yes, there were some progress shots on the web site but this week I finally finished the bridge and the two trailers to allow me to duplicate the scene properly. I reshot all the photos in that area and I thought I would post the finished result. I am using UK Fine Scale for all the L&PS trackage, but I use standard MSTS track for the intersecting steam roads. It makes a good contrast. I have some interesting tackage coming up where Pere Marquette shares the L&PS right of way for a km or so including a section of gauntlet track where the two lines use one single width bridge. I think the different track types will work well here to hilite the different routes. Wayne
