  • What scale was it?

  • @AbuAvital Gauge 1

  • the kids that played on that slide are probably married

  • @inneedofgrace1 Not yet lol!

  • It looks like it was built out of concrete - so how come it just all collapsed?

  • The viaduct sections are built of wood and in time just rotted and most of the stone work has been ripped apart by Ivy and plants now. It could have been kept open but my Dad wasn't bothered to do it (even after investing all that time and money into building it) and I was too young at the time so he pulled up, sad really.
