    There's nothing I disapprove of more than terrible puns and making jokes about goats; is just not on. As I sit here drinking my Billy tea, I look out at the green pastures trying not to get Gruff at these shameless quips. But I feel that I am just Butting my head up against a brick wall and know that although they are only Kidding we live in a Nanny state and at some point I'll just need to get the flock out of here.

    No one is blaming the goat Ian, I just think the goat needs to take more responsibility for it's actions.

    The new baseboards are in place and now I need to start on the scenery and the framework for the viaduct.

    Hopefully I will have a chance tomorrow to do some work on the area.

    Hi Steve,I have just found this viaduct in Scotland. Just the thing a curved Viaduct.I don't know if anyone has mentioned it. Perhaps Toto has its in his area.regards, Dodgey roger.
    Glenfinnian Viaduct
    Design[edit]
    The viaduct is built from mass concrete, and has 21 semicircular spans of 50 feet (15 m).[sup][11][/sup] It is the longest concrete railway bridge in Scotland at 416 yards (380 m), and crosses the River Finnan at a height of 100 feet (30 m).[sup][11][/sup] The West Highland Line it carries is single track, and the viaduct is 18 feet (5.5 m) wide between the parapets.[sup][11][/sup] The viaduct is built on a curve of 792 feet (241 m).[sup][12][13][/sup]
    The concrete used in the Glenfinnan Viaduct is mass concrete, which unlike reinforced concrete does not contain any metal reinforcement.[sup][14][/sup] It is formed by pouring concrete, typically using fine aggregate, into formwork, resulting in a material very strong in compression but weak in tension.[sup][14][15][/sup]

    Thanks Roger, yes that is a very impressive piece of engineering.
    I think mine will be much less impressive.

    That it is a result of them being caught by the crew trying to drive the crane and unsuccessfully hook the Station Master.
    The moral of the story is that the rolling stock gathers no boss.

    Some progress on the Viaduct build today.
    I spent an hour or so drawing up a few different versions then once I'd decided on the radius of the arches I made a full size card version of the sidewall. I've learnt from past mistakes that this is easier to do than making a ply one only to discover that it's no good.So I'm hoping that this week I will get the ply arches cut out and I can start constructing the supports with ply. I'm using this excellent build by Graham Ploughman as a guide.
    http://www.mrol.com.au/Media/12/Articles/Modelling%20Buildings%20and%20Structures/Modelling%20a%20Viaduct.pdf

    Here's what I'm hoping to create.
