In a town on my CSX route, there is this white retaining wall shown here:

Anyway, behind the wall is part of an old spur in the weeds that used to serve an industry where the wall was. I figured, place some track pieces up there, Y key, add wall, would do the trick, but the terrain isnt that accurate in MSTS, so I had the idea of making the hill and wall a shape and ploping it on the map and just place the track on the shape. I can do the wall just fine, but Im just wondering how hard it would be to sculpt a hill in TSM.

BTW: You are seeing that wall lookin its best. Its been graffiti free for about 3 years, but when it does get hit, it gets hit!

About as easy as making a berm for a bridge approach. Make the berm, do a shape for the terrain, You can place a copy of the terrtex texture in the Texture folder and you can use it for the berm texture. (Don't forget Winter texture if you want one available.) Make it a Terrain Object in the RE so the roadbed from the spur places properly.

Easier then fighting with the terrain in the RE.
