The trams on Bohemian Saxony primarily run through an urban environment comprising an ‘older’ town, a more modern area and an industrial zone. But around the edges we need some scenery.

The future owner’s design has crammed so much into the available space that the scenic elements are not great. What scenery we can fit in is a bit ‘vertical’ – no room for rolling hills. This presents a problem in that the owner has an aversion to rocks. Careful shaping has minimised the rocks but there will be some rocks it cannot be avoided.

So we have made progress with the scenery, installed a cable car (which has been removed for safe keeping) and last week agreed the final position of the various buildings. This is important so that we can make the ground works some of these will be placed upon.

Meanwhile it has been decided to put block working on the upper tram circuits so that the owner can accommodate more trams on the layout. More on that next time.
