Meldon Viaduct is nice, but the issue would be the landscape!

It'd just be weird to create the bridge, balancing on its center pillar!

And creating the landscape would be way too much work, sorry!

 


I actually owned one of these in this exact color. I also owned a wagon version as my first car it was blue.

Ah, cool!

 

The one in the movie ís actually a wagon, but I couldn't find one in the correct scale... :(

Ah!  FT, thats a very good point that I have completely overlooked, doh!

 

Went there a couple of weeks ago on our way back from Cornwall.  I know Okehampton a bit - it's an inoffensive little market town on the northern edge of Dartmoor - but I'd never visited the station, only seen the viaduct in the distance.

 

Meldon quarry provided around 90% of all the ballast that britains railways were laid on and despite the line being closed to passenger traffic years ago tjhe quarry carried on which meant it was spared much of the official vandalism our railway system has been subjected to for the last fifty years.

Stinking diesels don't usually float my boat but.....

"Aha!  An engine for FT!"  So we had to go on an explore up the cycle path.

The bridge is about two hundred metres beyond this point and is rather lovely!
