I'm back

Took a little longer than I thought but I'm back, at last.

It's amazing how much you forget when you're away for several weeks, so I've decided to start with something fairly easy.

Having had some involvement with Ben Yates' recently released Cockermouth Keswick Penrith Route, I selected an item that was missing from the route, for my re-introduction to modelling.

Connected to the signal box at Cockermouth Junction is this unusual bridge structure which allowed the signalman to exchange tokens with Down locos, without having to cross the tracks.


As it is so out of the ordinary and iconic to the route I decided it would be a good model both as an addition to the route and as an exercise for myself. Anyway, here's my version.
