Never leave a square inch empty if you can fill it with sidings. Excellent backscene. Putting a house right over the tunnel just isn't realistic - you can even see that it's low-relief as well. 7 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That grass mat on the left looks like a mowed lawn, pretty unlikely on an embankment! should look much more unkempt and overgrown on an eighties layout? 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zomboid Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Set track points and curves on the Hakone Tozan Railway Apparently the tightest curve on the route is 30m radius, which I worked out to be pretty much 1st radius at 1:76. Would be even tighter in HO. Oddly it's a standard gauge mountain railway in a country with narrow gauge railways (shinkansen excepted). So if you like making spectacular landscapes and scratch building rolling stock, but want to use up some trainset track, here's your inspiration. It's even got switchbacks and an 8% (1 in 12.5) gradient. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
