In this video I work on the first tunnel area with some landscape along with the start of the incline going up to the upper level above the fiddle yard
Great video and you have done really well building the incline, without the use of risers as we mere mortals tend to do! It really looks effective. I will be looking forward to seeing the track completed and a loco running up and down it. Regards Steve
Lots of things achieved here Allan. It is a great feeling when you can start landscaping and giving shape to the layout. The incline looks good and it will be nice to see the train climbing along the branch. The tunnel section looks good. Are you going to paint the walls of the tunnel section. You won't need to line it, but if you leave it white that will show in any video shots into the tunnel. Stephen
Hi Stephen. I was going to line the tunnel with black card but having watched Charlie painting the internal walls black, I may go down that route. I have got the card. But we will see what works best. It's great to be able to see where the scenery will go and how it takes shape, it does make such a difference. Allan
Hi Allan! Good job with the tunnel! The trains will look great emerging from the darkness - I know you said you were going to use black card, but have you thought of painting the inside walls black? I enjoyed watching you make the incline! Must be very satisfying to begin landscaping! All the best, Ian.
Nice work on the incline - that was significant progress. Subbed 🙂
Thank you. Always good to get a new subscriber and comments. Hope you enjoy the future videos

Thank you Steve, I enjoyed putting it all together, hopefully it will run smoothly once it's all done.

The walls have been painted and a template cut for the roof of that section. Hopefully lots of progress to show in the next update
