INSIDE a mountain! That's a big mountain - I hope you have built in a hatch

There are alternatives to raising trains up to a higher level which have been
used with some success in mainstream railway modelling -Train lifts. No, I
wouldn't bother either.

About 4x5 foot minus about 6 inches around the edge where the line starts its
climb.  The line will enter the mountain via a tunnel after going half way
around it.  I plan to have access under the mountain and the foamboard
construction makes it possible to have removable sections.  The mountain fits
well with my layout setting of Colorado.
