Hibel Road bridge over the main line, facing west. Photo from March 1960 shows the gaslights have been replaced by concrete swan-neck electric lampposts. I couldn't find any working lights commercially, so made my own using whitemetal lampposts and 0603 SMD LEDs, hiding the wires under filler before painting.
Seem to look close enough to the real ones.
(Later: snapped the one nearest the backdrop clean off being clumsy. realised it was a poor place for an unsupported post: it's now a postbox.)
