A green tinplate Hornby Series Viaduct, from the 1920s.

The viaduct is in three sections, a low green on-ramp and off-ramp, and a central viaduct section with high green girderwork sides, and a very low brickwork effect two-arch bridge.

In order to keep the viaduct and ramps compact, and to keep the gradients low, the viaduct is barely high enough to allow the two brick-effect arches to leave the ground.

The centre sections were also available separately, suggesting the possibility that they might be "stackable" in-line to produce a longer series of spans.
