Well, the guys came over Monday evening to help and we started planning a difficult bridge/hillside/crossing of an aisle and the main. Gale is working inside the hill, Jack and Alan are outside and we are placing cardboard webbing to scope out the slopes that will be involved. This will help us visualize what the hill will look like when we cover it with plaster.
Here is a side view. I am trying to keep the slope reasonable so i can cover it with foliage. We determined we need a long retaining wall of some height. Thjat is represented by the cardboard wasll. It will have to incorporate the bridge pier as well.
Zorba the Greek, aka Rich, also came over and began to extend the hillside along the yard entrance. He eventually got about 7 feet of the webbing up and it looks good.
Here is a view looking back and you can see where the pier will get involved. I need to mull this over for a while to see what I really have to do. Ed suggested a tunnel here but I want to see the train curving around the hill while leaning in on super elevation. It should be a nice scene.
