Rails to Black Rock

This week I have been modifying the Amanda Terrace end of the model. Having made the shell of the fishermen's cottages it had become apparent that the road level was too high. So I have removed the road (which is an integral part of the baseboard) and reduced its height by 20mm. The gradient is now gentler and looks much more realistic. This will help if the tramway is laid up the road. Reducing the height of the road has made the rocky sea front slopes gentler. I am reminded of my 'A' level geography teachers often repeated fact that slopes are seldom steeper than 30 degrees in nature!

This is a complex piece of landscape. I want to be true to the original but imagine the trackbed in a convincing way along the sea front. The track will pass where the boats are pulled up on a slate built wall.
