Therefore, one way to add realism to your model railway layout is to make it look like it was carved out of undulating land with cuttings and embankments where necessary. This means that inside of your railway perimeter fence, you need to replicate the flat nature and gentle gradients of the railway itself. In many cases, these areas will be higher than baseboard level to allow the terrain of the land to be below the level of the railway as well as above.
A quick and easy way to create all your landscape inside or outside the railway perimeter is to use the Woodland Scenics Subterrain system. This foam knife is ideal for cutting the Subterrain components to the required size. Replacement blades are available: WST1434 Spare Foam knife blades - 2” (50mm).
