Command Post Culvert

Up at the Command Post, there's a fairly well-known culvert that tends to crop up in pictures.

More of my favourite plastic slate roofing material was used for the culvert facing. A hole was drilled and cut down to make the opening for the culvert itself, and a little grass was PVA'd on top. A second piece was placed behind for the upper row of stones.

 Some boxing for the lower part was made to 'contain' the hole.

 A wash of grey:

 A little darker drybrushing, and if the handrails look a little familiar, they're from an N scale sd40-2.

To install the culvert, a little cut was made downhill from the Command Post, perhaps a little too far down, but the landforms in place suggested this is where it should go. 

The fabrication was glued in place and the area tidied up.

Mmm, chunky track. Perhaps I should have painted it black?!

While the layout couldn't have been made much longer under my self-imposed constraints, oh how I wish this little stretch of track was longer...
