I’m weak. I couldn’t resist. I had to have one. Coming on top of a new garden bench, and ahead of the imminent delivery of a tree seat and a playhouse, meaning that the garden will soon resemble a crowded woodyard, this small ornamental bridge is a little extravagant - another good month for my flexible fiend.

On the other hand, certain small people much prefer trip-trapping over the bridge to stamp-stomping over the track in their size sixes (you’d be amazed how much pull the average welly tread can exert). And even if it’s massively overscale, it looks lovely - this is supposed to be a garden as well as a railway.

I had a minor worry about the clearance underneath, but a quick Google shows that Accucraft’s Edrig loco is six inches high and the tape measure says we’ve got seven under here, so we should be golden. (Of course, for the price of the bench and bridge, I could have had Edrig but still, another day…)
