One thing I will be startign after I finish wiring will be the tunnels, before continuing to construct the layout, since these need alot of attention, especially the tracks, which some will not be easily accessable. I keep thinking on how these are constructed, since I have some long tunnels which are in a curve, do the internal walls need to be all the tunnel lenght? or do I can only make the first 6 inches of it, then make an accessable way through the side of the layout so if somethign happens I can acces it from a hatch?
But then I was thinking that is I do a hatch for servicing and leave most of the tunnel without walls, I could have light getting in and it will show the internal of the tunnel ( which will have only few inches wall )
I would also like to know how its best to construct the internal walls, some times I saw layouts with only bricks printed cardboard curved to shape. Others I saw only the first few inches moulded in plaster as rock ( no bricks )
You can see on the layout and on the plan that on the right side I have 2 tunnels, whcih are curved and the tracks pass over each other inside the tunnel.
I'm confused
