I'll start us off with some photos of rough scenery I did yesterday. The idea is there's a road that starts between the buildings in the background, passing underneath the tracks on a trestle bridge.
I mocked up the contours in cardboard. One consideration with the topography is allowing for the bridge abutment.
Then I laid down a cardboard piece to represent the road, and worked on the other side, which has tighter clearances.
Then I went upstairs to watch TV. Today I'll head down, look at what I mocked up yesterday. If I still like it, first I have to move the track feeders. Then I'll work out the cuts on the spline and how I'll support the scenery. I'll use the cardboard for now, but later on replace that with a hardboard fascia.
