Please could anybody help?
I need to disguise the end of a siding on the scenic part of my layout which, for reasons of expediency, require the use of part of the fiddle yard area for most of its length.
A number of ideas present themelves, however, most are gleaned from buildings that stood in the 'Rat Hole' are of LA. For reasons of accuracy, with a little modeller's license thrown in for good measure, I would prefer to adopt with some amendments, premises from my chosen subject of 'The Patch'.
To this end I've chosen this:

In real life, it was served to the side and rear, however, for my purposes, I should like to use those rather generous arches (or one of them to be more precise) for the purpose.
I have a half completed Wills bridge kit that might, with some judicious fudging, fit the bill and I'm dying to model those fire escapes with some bits of wire and offcuts of rail, suitably weathered of course.
What's the general concensus of opinion? Is it plausible?
Any and all advice welcome.
