Land for is formed for my "Laurium and Lake Linden" railroad. This photo shows the underside of the module, which I am trying to build as light as possible since it will eventually be mounted to the office wall with shelf brackets.
I plan on elevating
the terrain behind the dock with 1" foam - and again behind the smelter
and track. Since this is an end module for a round the room bookshelf
"empire," I figured the corner radius needed to be beefy. (I use the
term empire very loosely, as the entire layout will only 30 feet in
length - most of it single track on 12" to 16" deep modules! I couldn't resist dragging out the waterline hull
of the freighter kit I purchased to tie up at the dock to be loaded with copper, and put it on deck to give some sense of size.
Back
to the drawing board - After mulling things over while trying to get to
sleep last night, it dawned on me that I should have radiused the other
front corner on the module (shown in the circle.) I had planned on
continuing the dock and water for a short distance onto the adjoining
module when I get to it, but realized that it would not create the best
situation to try to get a smooth water surface across two modules. So
this evening, I head back out to the shop to reconfigure that corner.
The oscillating multi-tool should render the task fairly simple.
