Wow, that is some bridge!
Any idea how much you'd like for it?

[MartinI]

I think £40, and you can have the track pieces as well?

[philipy]

That sounds very reasonable Martin. I wasn't enquiring for myself, I'm afraid, It's too big, too far away and wrong gauge for me, sorry, but it's still a lovely bridge for somebody!

I'm going to regret this, aren't I?

Roughly, for the sake of working out travelling time, where are you in Dorset?

Blandford Forum, just for reckoning, possibly 2 and a half hours away, sorry... blame my wife, we have just moved here, 330 miles haha!

[MartinI]

I can remove the timber and track as the guage is irrelevant to a point , but I'm open to whatever anyone thinks?

Phil,
Once you have done the deal, we DEMAND to see it in situ with a train on it!

[FWLR]

Agree, that's an awesome bridge. We need to see it in-situ Phil....

Very nice, but it would not fit in the car. - I have actually spent a few minutes checking..

Sensibly, 'a bridge too far' unfortunately..

I even considered enquiring about a man in a van.. But only for a moment.

Thats exactly what I did as well Phil. I could actually find a nice spot for it in the garden and swapping the track is no prob, but my car ain't that long, it's too far to drive with it hanging out the boot and the thought of a hire van makes my eyes water and also the bank manager's!
