Re: started
Good to get started - even better when the first track gets laid.
Have you got a track plan to share with us (can't find one in your Planning Section thread)?
Reading between the lines does that "middle" section suggest a viaduct perhaps?
Are those 2 protuding legs on the right going to serve a particular purpose?
Never seen pink wood before - is there something special about it?

Re: started
It looks good. Two methods to make the sides look real. Either cut card bricks or dressed stones and glue on, or roughen sides and apply modelling clay, scribing the gaps between the stones or bricks. Looking good.

Re: started
Nice to see another start, it's lovely indoors isn't it
I think you may have your arch set a bit too low for your viaduct. Here's mine for comparison, one of the few bits I retained from my previous layout.

Re: started
With the two bridges (which looks good) what is the height between the two?
(Thinking whether they will end up as two separate railways, or whether major gradients, probably spirals, will need to be allowed for)
Just checking... this is in N, isn't it?
