Lift-out Bridge Repairs part 7

 April 16th last year was the last day I worked on rebuilding the large lift-out bridge on my model railway. 

  Following that my back has been constantly in pain for months so I was unable to continue with the work. 

However today I managed to reattach the tensioning chains underneath, which close up the gaps between the rail ends and the bridge itself. I still need to do some refinement regarding the length of the rails which are longer than the bridge, but it is an important big step forward after months of frustration at not being able to continue the work. I also need to repair the paper brickwork and fix the tunnel entrance at the fiddleyard end, and the scenery around both ends. 😊

End with the majority of the chain fixed

End with the tensioner which hooks onto the chain from the other end
