Reply to "Show me your corner mountains and tunnels!"

I use a corner mountain to conceal (from my view) an O36 curve. For appearance and operation curves and track switches on the Plywood Empire Route are all O72 except the Northeast corner of the train room. The doorway into the room is just 28" out from the wall so an O72 curve would end on the room access lift-out which was too complicated for my tiny brain so an O36 curve was laid and then hidden in a mountain.

Construction was the familiar hot-glued cardboard strip skeleton covered with plaster cloth and a top layer of Sculptamold:

As an expediency the basic mountain was covered with Joanne fleece:

A recent track-plan tweak increased the size of the East End industrial area by moving Oil Creek North a bit:

So more mountain work was required:

Plaster cloth applied:

How it is today:
