I need a little bit of help. I have a 5 x 9 HO layout and consists of 2 ovals (2 main lines). As everyone knows elevation towards the back gives an illusion of a larger layout so the outside line gradually increases towards the back of the layout. I elevated it using scrap pieces of wood. Anyway a siding, and the inside line that run beside the outside line are not elevated. I bought two very small bridges long ago and intend to use them beside this elevated portion of track. So my concern is if I dig out the foam (my subroadbed - about 2-3 inches thick) for the bridges it will seem unusual because the elevated section will have no bridge. I was thinking about putting in a retaining wall and gradually building up the landscape towards the elevated outside line and have a small gulley or valley under the bridges. If anybody followed any of this what should I do? I also thought about making it a marsh (but it cant be too big or it interferes with the small town in the middle) Please give your suggestions this issue has completely halted laying down the inside line. and p.s. the outside line less sidings is already nailed, glued, and corked....
