Starting the North Hill

I ventured into the trainroom yesterday armed with a gluegun and cardboard, and before you know it, had bodged up one of the two 'big' hills on the layout.

This one, at the 'northern' end of Wassen, sits above the church and big 'middle Meinreuss' viaduct.





Bounded by a freshly installed backscene, the hill hides a spiral of track that allows for some elevation gain on the model between the middle and upper Meinreuss bridges.

The backscene (white) has been cut away and both it and the hillside support each other, providing good access to the hidden trackage of the spiral and also the staging yard below for cleaning, maintenance and to deal with any incidents!
