You said "Add a pipe bridge ...G'day Phil,<br /><br />You said "Add a pipe bridge to cover the ugly joint in the canal".<br />Here's a way to make those ugly module joints disappear.<br /><br />Glue some soft foam that crushes easily (up to 10mm thick) to 1 end of a module, use Glad Wrap (clear plastic film you cover food with to put in the fridge) to wrap the opposing joining module, bolt them together & let it dry.<br />Tip: NO glue above scenery level with modules bolted together.<br />Once dry separate modules & remove the Glad Wrap them bolt them back together.<br />Now trim/prune the soft foam to suit your ground level then add scenery, WELLAH.<br /><br />You can do this to an existing scenicd model railway.<br />You can also use it as a hedge between modules etc.<br /><br />Cheers Woz<br />Sydney, NSW, Australia <br /> Wozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03364126353686337646noreply@blogger.com
