3D Printed Viaduct for the Tokaido Main Line

 

The two track running alongside the Shinkansen were much simpler to draw up. All the columns are clearly visible and the wider spans line up with the arches on the front four tracks. This viaduct does curve gently to left however there is no height change and it is all on one floor. 

I settled for 3 printed parts, the supports, a fixed track bed and a shorter removable trackbed to attach to the bridges:

An image of the bridge supports of both viaducts and the entrance to Uracori between the two:

And finally how my print compares:

The next step is to some fine grit sandpaper and filler to reduce the visible print lines, detailing and painting.
