Thanks all for the encouragement! My scenic skills are still very much in the ha'penny place compared to the other greats on here!
The plan is indeed to balance out the embankments but I wanted to retain as much access as possible and build the layout from the back scene out. Plan is another embankment about half as high as the walls on the right of the track, in the empty black space to the left of the track. It will run from the tunnel down to 'ground' level just before the branch entrance and should help balance out the cutting!
Slow is an understatement, but I've managed to move my little work space to the office, so I can be plodding along with little kits and stuff while 'working'
Still have to finish the paint and touch up job on the retaining wall...
Sorry about that, the HP storage array threw a 'predictive' failure on one of it's disks, which caused the controller to return garbage which broke the filesystem.
A manual repair and all is back to normal now.
