I have started my planned extension onto an unused concrete base to provide another reverse loop, you can see the base (just), beyond the present siding with the fake tunnel. To get a reasonable grade (3-4%), I’m having to cut into the concrete, not only the transition, but now have found that the track bed will need lowering as well.
I’ve been using my hammer drill chisel attachment plus drilling holes, and using a cutting disc. The base is proving resilient unfortunately, so will probably have to revert to explosives ! I didn’t ever think that this hobby would involve such drastic measures.
