    Hi all! I finally finished Section 4! Lots of challenges in this one. Many different slopes and angles, a bridge (which I've never attempted before), and even the rock faces were tricky. 

    There are currently two more sections that I originally envisioned building out to the left. The railroad will go along the cliff face and into a tunnel.
    I originally didn't plan on building more to the right, but as I've built more, I think I will build a couple more sections that direction and have the railroad go into another tunnel. That way if I build it irl, it would make a loop for trains to run on. I'm currently at 17k pieces. 😬

    Wonderful development. Love where this is going!

    Keep ut the good work!

    I like it. The trees are small, but that may be the intention. As you have already found out, mountains require tons of bricks. Adding a rail road to it increases rather than diminish the need for bricks. I am speaking from experience, as one of my childhood dreams was to build a mountain of Lego. I completed one a few years back (see below), and to be honest, much of the understructure had to be made from wood supports, special shelves as well as a couple of tables. However, the croud loves such displays at shows, the headache begins only in transporting it to and from the event as well as the tedious setup. Good luck on your module development. Let us see the finished product:classic:

    I like it, and it is huge

    I have myself built something similar with motorized points and turntable, all PF controlled. Still sitting in some boxes somewhere, as the project lost momentum. But that is the beauty of this hobby. When the wind blows in the other direction, it is time to demolish some old moc for a brighter future of a new one....:laugh:

    Happy building

    I think elevating track over what looks like a stone covered patio is interesting and fun, along the same path as the little section known as "will it float" did in Late Night Show, that is, if you consider the heading "many quite expensive elements". Would I repeat this experiment with my own MOC of a train just to see if it works? Don't think so, but it was entertaining!

    Thanks for sharing. After all, life is a risky project. Might as well add some suspense just to see what happens....

    Nice MOC, by the way
