With the help of a hot melt glue gun I have stuck the tunnel portal in place and roughed out the start of the hillside with a lattice of cardboard.

A wider view of the trackwork and hillside. Nothing is wired up as yet though.

Looking the otherway towards where the upper level will emerge from another tunnel and cross the viaduct.
