Conway Scenic Trainz

I'm attempting to build the entire Conway Scenic and even beyond by expanding a Maine Central Mountain Div. route from the defunct Control Point Simulations for my own use. I'm using blank baseboards for the parts of the route I create. At the upper end I'm going to merge a VT-NH Loops route by gfisher for Whitefield and beyond. But for the north end I have to create descending terrain from 566.68 m to about 298 m to merge Whitefield into it. What would be the best way to do that? Here are some screenshots. I'm sorry, but this forum won't let me paste the photos from the links. So, only thing I can do is post the urls and you have to click on them to see the full images. I just tried this site which has a free trial and you have to pay for more space. The links could be temporary. I plan on building south of Bartlett, NH to North Conway and Conway and maybe a bit further south toward Silver Lake where a tourist railroad operated 3 miles of track north of Silver Lake but is now defunct. I don't think I could ever release this unless I got permission from whoever made it at the now defunct Control Point Simulations. I'm using Dave Snow's North Conway Station that I requested him to make and he doesn't want his content used in payware routes. The MEC CPS route was originally payware I believe. I don't know if I would be allowed to release it as freeware even though the original route is no longer available. So for now, it will just be a personal project for myself.

Cool Stuff! Where did u find that shed?
 
Shed? Do you mean the yellow building? I think it's a built in asset. It's supposed to be the Bartlett, NH station. It's the closest building I could find. I added some other building to it because the real life station has an addition that juts out from the main building. I had to look at photos of the station. I never was to NH in my life, I'm from eastern PA but I knew about Conway Scenic for years and I like the look of the railroad and the Victorian North Conway Station which Dave Snow made for me a while back for this personal project of mine. I at least want to have the railroad from Conway to Fabyan, and maybe beyond Fabyan to Whitefield, and beyond and maybe south of Conway which is currently abandoned, but three miles was used as a tourist railroad several years ago in Silver Lake (Madison), NH which is now defunct so at least that part south of Conway was cleared for rail vehicles. The rest down to Ossipee and south of Conway to Coleman's Concrete of the ex-B&M is overgrown and impassable I believe and there are a few breaches in the row I believe.
 
Thats sick and word yeah I think it is a DLS asset. Sounds challenging but also a very rewarding choice of a project for yourself
 
Funny thing, I've been to this railroad, did some railfanning in Conway at the station years ago, I got a video of it somewhere
Here is the Video feel free to use it for your build.
