I decided to go with some viaducts for the upper loop section of the extension.
Okay so Hornby Dublo never actually produced one so we're going to have to cheat a little and use the Hornby / Triang version and make it look more Dublo-esque!
For starters, I won this one from Ebay for a reasonable price:
I then acquired two more, rather unexpectedly and for free during one of our local model railway club nights. They've been used in a sceneried layout so need cleaning up first, but they're free!
The other one has similar scenery on it:
The same viaduct, after cleaning:
Some plastic primer:
First coat of Sahara Beige, sadly Halfords no longer supply this so I've had to source this from the internet:
Three complete, Dublo-style viaducts!
After another model railway club night, I now have two more viaducts!
These were given the same treatment, for the five foot extension we'll need to cut this down to size a little, as demonstrated by the five feet of track used to mock this up:
(with thanks to the cat for photo-bombing my picture!)
