The steel girder bridge for my 00 gauge My Last Great Project Layout is coming on to the point that the bridge deck actually looks like a bridge deck! I added a card road surface to the plastic card bridge deck. Onto that I added footways either side cut to a suitably narrow width - footpaths across older bridges were never that wide! Before adding the footways I used the back of a scalpel blade to emboss the kerbs. You can just about make the detail out in the second photo. It should show a lot better once painted. I have also started detailing the bridge plates with jointing strips made up of a cut strip of plastic card and then some Slaters strip added along the middle. From a distance it looks OK!
