A glance in the kitchen of a model layout. The framework of the modules is made of 50 by 50 cm squares, like explained in "the arrangement of modules". This means that we can place a support column every 50 cm for the tracks on higher levels and for the landscape.
On the pictures next to here you can see the landscape forms very well. Every 50 cm there is a wooden strip in the shape of the future land. The modules in front already have landscape on them. The rear module is only wood and rails. On the 2nd picture you can see some supporting pillars to strengthen the connection between the upper station of Alp Grüm and the landscape. Also on this picture, you can see there is a turning place for the Faller car system and the tracks of our hidden station. The underneath shows you that the landscape is made of several layers of Styrofoam, the upper one is still to come. Click for more details about the landscape here, or via "The Landscape" in the left hand column.

The majority of out layout was out of wood and plaster but on some places it was still possible for the audience to see the whole structure inside.
