Using some foam from around the shop I got the basic size cut out. 48 inches long and 32 inches with to fit in between the RCP rails plus started to build some elevation and obstacles.

It's the inside of our overland truck. Oddly, there's no one inside but me. Notice the layout. It's very conducive to community. It's also very conducive to storage. The lockers are located underneath the seats and go down a good 3 feet. I have a 32" duffel that fits in the locker standing up. I share a locker with Tyler, another tourist who hails from Canada. For the storage of our day gear there is a shelf above the seats with netting to keep the day stuff from falling on your head and killing you. The windows are plastic and role up and down with a little help from a few of the passengers. In the front of the area you see is "The Beach", a flat surface with a window that has the area above it cut out so that people can get on their knees and stick their heads out above the top of the truck to look forward to see what's going on. It's called the The Beach because you can get a good sunburn or tan by sitting on The Beach for a whole sunny day with the canvas removed that covers The Beach. The whole setup is designed for maximum community and maximum viewing so that the occupants can role down the road and wave to all the thousands of children that wave at us.
On the left side, in front the car you can see an attempt to use individual styrofoam balls as rocks. I mixed some carpenter's glue and water to harden the surface. Worked OK but I will probably use real rocks in the end.

the journey over, the train lays over, stinking up the train shed with diesel fumes. The smell of Southern Cross Railway Station reminds me of going to elementary school.
