I kinda took a top view shot of where almost everything intersects. All those twist and bends reminds me of the twisted mind who took on this project! Lol! :D

Same intersection in different angles...........

Time to work on the ground floor level with custom platforms built from sintra. The inner platform is shorter for 2-car trains.

Looks good, but have you tested the trains on the platforms in the curves? I don't think they will let the train pass very well, if at all... I've had some bad experiences with platforms in curves.

Yes, I did Toni. Even while it was a in a flat profile.

I'm loving this progress.

 

How did you cut the foam mountains? Hot wire tool?

 

Just an ordinary steel saw (small teeth). Then sandpaper to smoothen them out.

Off topic question.......

 

This question might be properly addressed in the prototype section, but thought I'd ask here instead - my apologies.

 

Which Shinkansen line passes through the most mountainous terrain? What is the highest elevation of any shinkansen line ever?

 

Just trying to research a bit....

Just thought I'd update this project ...........

 

Still WIP with many more things to do/add, but here's some pics and a video. Both mountain tops could easily be detached by lifting it up for maintenance, derailments, cleaning, etc.
