what si a good way to make easy mountains for a ho scale train set?
my family is setting up a marklin train set and i want to know how to make simple mountains at home (not to buy)
This is a method that you can make the 'layered rock' type of inclinations that end up looking really neat and realistic:
The Styrofoam that comes in all kinds of packaging, and different thicknesses glued on top of each other in 'layers' like how the rocks really look on a 'cut' made during the track construction in real life.
You 'break' off the foam in strips, so the face is rough and obscure looking, glue them down with glue gun or however you want, then by using different thicknesses of the foam, you can mock how the layered rock looks in real life. And talk about cheap. This Styrofoam usually ends up in the trash, so essentially its "FREE"!
Another neat trick is to make the layers 'unlevel' like how the rock layers really look in a cut through a hill side, or mountain or whatever.
The construction methods listed in the other answers are good also, but I have found the multiple thickness foam piled up to however I want it in an 'unlevel' fashion, really looks awesome!
The random unlevel look is really neat, and makes you want to look at it for a while, like how the real rock layers entice you to study them.
Enjoy your little mountain building project. It is fun.
EDIT: Another neat product I've manipulated with an excellent result are the pressed material of ceiling tiles used mostly in commercial spaces. These break off into neat looking layered material.
Stacking these looks great. also mixing these within the Styrofoam is a neat effect also, like a vein of coal in the rock layers.
