Bridging the Gap works okay. The only challenges were I had to widen Falkland Tunnel to allow the longest engines I have to take the corner onto the bridge. and alter the position of Sovereign Street Station Building for the same reason.
After widening class 58 58001 enters onto the bridge.

Is it fixed, or is the intent to make it removable or hinged?
P.S. I think you picked the wrong project! You should have chosen new lighting scheme in the rail room! I haven't seen such dark, grainy pics since I last bought 400ASA instamatic film!

Isn't that the fun of modelling, I have to make changes from time to time, often because of something unplanned. Still. it keeps me out of mischief.

Naturally! The tunnel was fine - on the straight. Putting the curve in caused the challenges.
As the former 'elf and safety officer' when I worked, I think the bridge needs some parapets. ----

It is removable. Though I think it will remain in position longer than intended. I have more or less doubled the train run from the fiddle yard to Glencairn Station.
As for the lighting. Photography is not really for me. I just take pictures as and when.
As for the wrong project? Heck no! Bridging the Gap has been on the back burner far too long. Whether I win or not (I doubt very much I will. ) does not worry me. The competition has motivated me to build the bridge at last.
