Old Sag

One of the nice elements of the Saddleworth location is the overlaying of the river Tame with the Huddersfield canal.

I just managed to squeeze in the aqueduct that goes over the river and then under the viaduct.

It’s not obvious from the picture but what looks to be a bridge is actually an aqueduct. As you might have guessed, the nick name ‘Old Sag’ comes from the slight sag that you can see in the middle. It still seemed to last quite a while.

However, even the most well constructed infrastructure will eventually need some kind of repair and this happened in April 2000 and provided a unique view into the construction which should help with the modelling.
