Steve,I really like your design. I like the idea of the waterfall. The other thing you could do if you don't want to try the waterfall is to curve the water to the right under the topmost bridge and have it "disappear" behind the mountain edge, almost following the track you were talking about hiding.
An inexpensive way to do the mountains could be to use pink foam sheets to build up starting at the river and working your way up the various grades. That is what was done at the bottom of the forum via this link:

Hey tinplate trackers,I'm making movies to share with others on how I might build the hard shell landscaping for my layout. The links below show the one area where I'll be building a river/mountain scene. I'm trying to visualize how it will work. Since I can't draw it easily, I thought maybe do some mock-ups and talk about it in videos.If you have 2 cents to offer, feel free to email me. Enjoy!

It makes this kind of exchange easy... ------ TTAT members reflector.
