- In this video I describe how I went about adapting the standard Metcalfe Viaduct kit (PO240) to create a curved viaduct on a progressive curve with a gradient.

So helpful as I'm now constructing a curved viaduct from the wills kit.
That looks amazing as a structure. Some great woodworking and indeed, modelling skills on show here, well done, excellent job...cheers, Chris
Ingenious - brave of you to take it apart too👍✌️😊 I was considering using the Metcalfe or Wills viaducts for a small O gauge layout as a scenic break etc🤔🤔😳
I've built a viaduct, in exterior quality foamboard, for a garden - narrow gauge - railway on a curve, the arches, similar to yours, "coned" towards the rear (inner radius), lots of work. It was about 4' tall and 6' long - still there 21 years later👍😊 I've not been "inspired" to do another curved viaduct since 🙄😳😄😄
Thanks for showing this , much appreciated ,and gives me idea's for future reference for my layout thanks Ray .
I love how you have fitted that viaduct so well. I am loving you vids.
Excellent job. Wish I had seen this vid before I kit bashed my Metcalfe viaduct as mine is not curved like yours but does have 7 arches. First video I have seen of yours so I have subscribed and will follow more of yours as your quality of workmanship is extremely high. Cheers, Rick the Bulldog
Another very interesting and informative video, many thanks.
Great job, modelling a skew bridge has to be one of the most difficult things in model railways, but you have a very convincing effect with your bridge. Keep up the good work, I am a big fan. Thanks, Ronnie (from Scotland).
Hi Ronnie and hello Scotland, thank you so kindly for your wonderful feedback, it is so greatly appreciated. Cheers, Julian.
Great video, I like the way you have built around the viaduct, I have gone the other direction,built my tressel bridge to suit, both methods work fine
Looks great. Well done. Thanks for sharing!
That's an amazing optical illusion - I keep going to myself "They are not parallel, no they are parallel, no they're not, yes they are! Really confused by what isometric does to my brain!! Oh, great viaduct and video btw :-)
Love the viaduct. A geometric wonder - or is it a nightmare? Really good to see the viaduct separately as it gives a much better idea of the complexity. Hats off to you.
Excellent construction impressive modelling skills
Thank you very kindly. My model making skills have improved over the years, but I still feel there is room for more improvement. A key aspect I have learnt is to take my time and be more methodical with the model making process.
@@StationRoadModelRailway ive watched numerous u tube videos in the last 3 years and your layout is exceptional your module build on scenic areas the way they lift out is sublime i recently subsribed to your channel and found the content to be inspirational. Ive recently retired and about to set up my own layout and will be following you for ideas-thank you very much i am inspired by what you have achieved-regards mike rees from west wales-keep up the amazing work
Hi mate another great video mate I really enjoy it mate Clive
Great kit bash! Any special tips for painting mdf (ie does it swell, do you need to seal it first?) thanks for sharing!
Hi
I've been looking for something just like this. It's a great build.
It would be good to have the details of how you did it!

Unfortunately I didn't document the viaduct build (no video or progress photos) so only what is described in this video is what I have. But in a nutshell, I first mapped out the trackbed through the area and then cut out a trackbed section for the entire area and secured this into place. I then worked out the section the of trackbed that would be the viaduct by measuring up the Metcalfe kit sections, and cut that section away from the trackbed, thus creating the foundation for the viaduct and its curve. I was inspired by this video, albeit he used plasticard czcams.com/video/jcvZc3gp7Jo/video.html
One question - how hard would it be to widen one of the arched sections? I want to do the same as you but I need to fit a curved (radius 2) double track through the central arch and it's too narrow.
I found it lol
