How can I create a narrow passage in my route

The only way to do this is to use embankment type splines. If you search the DLS for embankment, cutting or retaining you will get a selection to choose from.
 
With the 5m cutting tool 09/10 would be ideal for this ... by using the track elevation gradient to cut the trench's, using the "Smooth Spline" tool.
There are various walls and cliff splines on the DLS. Hide imperfections with bush's and grass, or by Flat Grass splines, or road Splines.
 
Hello Ares.

I’d use vertical wall and road splines. You can lower or raise them to get the gradient, leaving the track flat on the baseboard.

Buildings, retaining walls and embankments, as stagecoach has suggested, will also give you the trackside vertical effect.

Here’s a quick example of how you could put it together. I've used kuid 237676:1067 for the walls, and kuid2:283523:37044:3 for the cobbled road (although you'll probably need a wider road to replicate some of the areas in your pictures).

The building are simply raised and positioned as required to follow the slope and curve of the road.

Hello again Ares.


Here are a few more ideas.

I’ve tried a couple of splines.

Rockface 1 ge h 30m kuid:136383:3520

Sink it a bit. Put in a hedge spline underneath it.

I’ve used JVC(M)Hedgerow#2a w/trees & shrubs – Kuid2:328583:10003:1

Move the hedge until the right bits poke through the rock face.

Add the road and edge wall above the track edge. Adjust for height. Shove in some grass spline and shrubs. Add a few buildings/vehicles as appropriate (sorry - mine aren’t Greek).

Add track and rolling stock (sorry - also wrong country!)



This is one of your original images

Here’s how I’ve tried to replicate it on the baseboard, showing part of the big rockface before it was lowered.

Hope this helps.

Hi Ares.

Further to PMs

Two FMA abandoned buildings in this shot. Easy to do – not much scenery!

On DLS with lots of their (very good) stuff.
