I saw in the current issue where we have the "Timesaver Revisitied" that shows the corner module with the mainline between two tunnels; otherwise that curve would be just one big tunnel. You can have several feet of exposure on the track that you might otherwise not be able to see. The first set would be simply several feet of track between two slightly different tunnel portals, the next set a sort of a set of bridges over a draw, river etc.. the third set if needed can be "coming" out of the woods that are thick and high enough to screen both ends of this section. The train will exit this "Woods" by disappearing behind whatever you choose (Tunnel, hillside, cliff etc etc or just more trees) My concept is driven by three issues 1- unwatched trains derail 2- if you can see and enjoy your trains go for it 3- Photo ops for yourself or your visitors who might be "Ambused" by a train suddenly passing them to one side. A steam engine or set of desiels roaring out of the tunnel at a person's elbow unexpected can be good to watch.
