A Bridge [Even Further] Too Far

The upper and least well-known of the three bridges in the tributary Meinreuss gorge above Wassen  is the top level railway bridge - the Obere Meienreuss-Brücke. This crossing isn't terribly visible unless you go out of your way to find it, being well hidden in the deep gorge, surrounded by trees and sitting between two tunnels.

A pic taken on my first visit to the place in October 2015:

The distinctive (fairly recent) recent tunnel portal extension poking out of a dramatic dark rockface is prominent - this presumably shields the line from rockfalls. Although the bridge takes shape here, the other elements have yet to be modelled here (and may never be!!).

The bridge itself appears to be quite a modern concrete one with minimal stone decoration about the various arches. I decided to make it (rather un-prototypically) from some z scale prick-embossed plastic sheet.

As usual, a bit of random drawing was done ono the sheet with a fine marker until it looked about right (here using a plastic tub and the inside of a roll of solder to provide appropriately-sized arcs) :

And then it was cut out:

Trimmed to fit and a concrete top piece added (the VGB Gotthard book gives a decent picture of what the thing should be like, so I'll give myself a B for this (and would have scored higher had I bothered to paint more of the face a concrete colour:

Weathered lightly and glued in place among the growing forest of trees:

Being the lazy modeler that I am, it's only single faced of course, just like his little brother road bridge), but hopefully a few more trees will grow to hide that fact that there is nothing behind that face, and I'll come back to the tunnel portal and catenary poles later.
