Gap spanned

It turns out I made the trestle a little too tight fitting. I had to trim back the gap a bit - right down to the pink foam substructure - and square up the opening.

There was also considerable sanding done on the bridge stringers. But once all that fiddling was done, the bridge finally slipped into place.

One thing you can't see in the photo are the track guard rails that were added once the bridge was installed.

You can see I removed the railing from the refuge as rolling stock crashed into it. I guess this means it isn't much of a refuge, but it should be good as a fishing platform :-)

I need to fix the trestle's colour. It looked ok when I was staining it, but in this lighting condition it looks all washed out.
