Thank you, Greg! Your mentions of a Turnpike exit, "The Italian Job", and "Rialto St" are not lost on me. It's funny that I finally realized that the place I was thinking of wasn't in the boonies, but at Millvale. For the uninitiated, Rialto Street is a very steep street on Pittsburgh's North Side.
Yes, if we eliminate the monster steps of Rialto Street, here is a mockup. I think something like this would be more like Appalachia. Much easier to build as well.
The stop sign at the bottom of the hill reminds me of South Main Street here in Butler, which by the way is still Brick. I am standing a few feet from the stop sign and a barricade at the other side of the T.
Mark, what is the vertical height there? Judging by the rolling stock above, I'm estimating 30" in length.
I always wanted a road between my levels but thought it was too steep. Now I have the El to contend with. The vertical measurement is 13" .
