Joined: 26/07/2021(UTC) Posts: 635 Location: Sydney		The layout needed a bit of geotechnical engineering so I Installed rockfall netting protection due to the unstable cliff face, anchored 9m into the rock. All bits are etched stainless steel which was leftover material from a job. A bit over scale but should protect the trains below from the bigger rocks.

Here in the Uk you normally see netting pinned to the reockface rather than in the way you have modelled it.

Well that photo makes it look like there is a large mesh supporting a normal hurricane wire mesh. It might be a trick of the light on the mesh though, but makes your modelling look legitimate. I also like that the lower mesh has caught a rock from rolling onto the track.

Rockfall netting intended for big rocks have quite a large mesh size. This picture is from Norway. photo: banenor.no
