MRUV 87: Scratchbuilt Road Overpass

  • čas přidán 28. 11. 2016
  • First off- please excuse my breathing as the lung condition I have from my deployment with the USAF to Afghanistan has been acting up recently.
    One last update before I return to the onsite job! I decided to work on the road overpass at the end of the peninsula and got fairly far along. It isn't finished, but I can wrap it up once I get back.
    I started with a Rix Modern Overpass kit, but that just wasn't what I was looking for. However, the bridge rails were the proper shape. I used those and scratch built the main bridge out of plywood, styrene, and 2mm foam.
    Some remedial scenery work was needed to incorporate the bridge abutments. These were carved out of pink foam and painted/weathered. Once installed several drain pipes were added.
    Overall this captures the look I was going for. It may not be an exact match, and some liberties were taken, but it has the right "feel" to it. Now the railfans have another bridge to use for fanning!

    Thank you for your service over in the Stan! You know as long as you're still breathing, don't worry about it and don't apologize for it. Myself and others are just happy to have your butt home in one piece.

    Thank you for your service to this country.
    I missed where you said you got that shed kit at the beginning of this video. It looks pretty neat.

    • @robbennett1965
      @robbennett1965 Před 7 lety

      I don't remember! I have had it for a while, as well as a few other Langmesser-Modellwelt resin kits, but for the life of me I can't recall where I bought them. I thought it was from their website but I don't see his kits listed there now. I also checked Ebay.de and Amazon.de with no luck. I'll try to recall as now it bugs me...

    Hi Rob, Mark from the UK here.
    I have just finished watching your videos on the railway Build through from the beginning to current situation and I must say they are truly inspiring.
    I am currently cutting timbers for the supports of my British Outline N Gauge layout, approx 10pm x 3' so nowhere near your sizing. Your scenic methods have given me a lot to think about.
    I really like the pond/bridge area and the embankment with the old signal.
    Keep up the good work and I hope you get home soon for Christmas.
    Best wishes of the season to you and your family. Have a healthy, happy and prosperous 2017
    Mark

    Hi Stephen! I have to tell you, this is the best layout series I've ever watched. Your presentations, your modelling skills are first rate. Congratulations! Your choice of introduction music, by the way, I find to be absolutely beautiful stuff.
    Good luck with your breathing problem. I salute you for your service. I will be watching your progress on a regular basis. I have, in fact followed your progress (lurked?) since video number one.
    Cheers!

    • @robbennett1965

    As an engineer,
    I keep wanting to name the parts that you mention, to you
    and explain their functions and characteristics,
    as I think that understanding
    helps with achieving the realism,
    and the detailing.

    Hi Stephen, You will just have to add some black exhaust to the sides of the bridge & underneath. Looking great keep them coming when you have time, Drive safe.

      @robbennett1965 Před 7 lety

      Al- actually it is there on the underside...just hard to see unless you REALLY try! I noticed it in the prototype photos of the RT 5 bridge on the CSX, so added it. If you watch the video at around the 29 minute mark there is a photo that shows what was done so far. Thanks for watching and commenting!

    Just a little fyi cuz I didn’t hear you mention it, the concrete rail that is flared at the bottom is called T-5 rail👍🏼

    @radionut4422 Před 7 lety

    Is the car to scale? Looks awful narrow if that is a 2 lane road, even allowing for the shoulders. Nice detail work on the bridge and pipes.

  • @jimgagne4484
    @jimgagne4484 Před 7 lety

    little tip for ya,, 1 layer ply ='s 1/8,,, so you have 3/8 ply ,, not 1/2,,,,, but nicely done and will copy one for my lay out .. thank you

    • @williamgreene4834
      @williamgreene4834 Před 7 lety

      Just a tip for ya,, I am a pattern maker by trade and 1/2" plywood can have as many as 11 plies, but I usually use 7 ply. These are commercial plywood so you won't find them at Menards. :) You can get plywood with more plies than that but you will pay a ton for it. Even 7 ply costs a bunch. What you said about 1/8" plies is generally true at the lumber yard though.

    how did u make ur hills just wondering

    • @robbennett1965
      @robbennett1965 Před 7 lety

      Mostly they are made from foam. Then carved, shaved, and otherwise "manipulated" to the appropriate land forms.
