Part of my trackage will be hidden & I have started to provide the tunnel & related rock/cliff face



but so I can access the hidden track for cleaning & any derailments, the rock/cliff face to the left will need to be removable



so over the next few days/weeks, this will slowly be worked on.

Hi Sol,

Keep the pictures and the updates coming please. Always good to see others ingenious ways of getting round these teasers.

Cheers

Toto

Needing a frame to hold the card  criss cross base

The top sits on a couple of flat boards glued to the upper level



 

the bottom part off the frame has two nails through it that will sit in holes in the man base board - nails as guides.




both parts of the frame in position ready for the card sub-base

Card base done


lifted out of position

The fixed section & the liftout part had their first coat of paper towel brushed with watery PVA


The liftout section moved

An interesting project Ron and I look forward to seeing how it works out. I think I would have opted for a retaining wall rather than a rock face - but then I am probably more lazy!!

Basic rock work & colouring finished - detailing to come later on
4 liftout sections

That looks pretty good as is Ron.Very quarry like.

Agree with Spurno, looks good already Ron and pretty quick :thumbs

Ed

Yeah me too Sol….that looks pretty good.

 You have got my attention because I`m going down the removable scenery road as well. Any tips will be gratefully stored in the old memory banks.

Looking good Ron. I like the bridge in the background of photo 2. What make is it?

Very nice, seriously solid looking structures.
