I 've heard the ideas for the tunnels and the clearance—
What are people using to build there portals
Wood?
Concrete?
Stone?
Brick?

Any idea’s would help!

Find Marty Cozad here in the GR forums he’s built some Nice Ones! Can’t remember what he used though.

Hi smcgill
All of the above and foam and plastic.
It helps to know the era of your railway if you are running early steam then wood or modern deisles brick or concrete
If you want the painfull way I saw an add for real bricks in 1/2’ scale.
On a more practical note a number of manufacturers produce pre cast concrete foam and plastic tunnel mouths in our sort of sizes i would sugest a giant tunnel behind a scale removable mouth you never know what monsters some one may visit with.
