The second cut is actually the deepest.

Longer term readers may remember about a year ago (nothing like forward planning - http://vrlatestupdates.blogspot.com.au/2013/08/a-short-lived-idyll-charity-street-and.html) I mentioned the unusual shape of the bridge foundations, and that hopefully I knew what I was doing. I had a welcome break in work recently and was able to tackle scenery across a bigger than usual section of the layout. In brief, this is a brick lined cutting recollecting that emplaced as part of the regrading on the Up side of Camberwell that, aside from its own value as a scene to run through, covers the hidden suburban stabling sidings and provides a visual barrier between the Main Yard and the running lines. As I mentioned in my last post, build details are now being discussed through my Facebook page, but here are some shots of the cutting as finished to date. The other end will be completed with scenery application at that end.
