Here are some tunnel entrances from the Richlawn RR

First up, a store bought tunnel portal with hand carved rocks.

The red brick N scale vehicle tunnel was carved out of foam.

Store bought portal for ??? traffic.

As you know the mountain was

As you know the mountain was never finished but the CELEX building on the G&AM was supposed to act like a tunnel entrance:

Here's One

Portal

Re-purposed

Hi Rick and all,

Well, you did ask..It's another one from the Corrimal files.

This one is in disguise - It was a HO Woodland Scenic plaster tunnel portal. Now its a culvert under a narrow-gauge O-scale tramway. The culvert made a brief appearance in Module 4 - the Dead-End (of the Incline) way back on Page 2 of the Corrimal saga. Must have been a long hot summer, the creek's not running.

The "feet" on each side of the portal were amputated to lower the height. The amputated feet turned into the part of the portal on the upstream side. A row of stones with the capping strip were also amputated to lower the height above the top of the portal.  

It's the tunnel you have when you aren't having a tunnel

Not your usual tunnels..

Hi Rick and all,

Time for some other different tunnels. These aren't even standard-gauge. The story of these 2 tunnels is yet to appear in the Corrimal saga, but mine portals rate as tunnels as far as I'm concerned,

The main coal handling portal

and the Men & Materials portal

The story of how we got from bare baseboards to these 2 portals is soon to arrive on the Corrimal Colliery incline thread, 

Lots of cool ideas and imagination here!

Thanks for all of the great examples!

One more tunnel entrance on my layout

This one is on the doodlebug track going through Misti mountain.

The entrance to my helix on the upper level!

Helix upper & lower portals. The lower portal is for the surrounding Guanlet track

Here is the side view of the Gaunlet portal.

Tunnel Portals on the Cheshire Railroad

Love the multi-level double portals!

Very railroady!  I think maybe I'll include one, I like the way you've done that so much.  Thanks for sharing.

Beeliners

A pair of Rapido's fine "Beeliners" as the New York Central called them.

Cheers, Ed

South end of Dossa tunnel

Added the tunnel gate closure hardware. Now to finish with the electrical box, battery container and phone. 

@ Rick

I was a little late at the tunnel entrance but I did get a picture.....

It’s a long tunnel.  Now I’m looking for a flashlight.  Here’s my email address.  Someone suggested that since I was going to be in Florida I should try to find you.  Sounded like a good idea.

No lovely finished scenes to

No lovely finished scenes to show but on my last layout I needed a custom built tunnel portal for a spot.  I haven't scratch built anything in a long time but bought some styrene stock and slapped something basic together here; will find a spot on the planned layout for it if possible painted concrete.

My smaller layout "Jurandvor" is under construction

Elk River RR

Rick has already seen this in

Rick has already seen this in another thread but I'm going to post it here also for everyone else to enjoy. Hopefully anyway!

Just roughed in scenery at

 Just roughed in scenery at this point but with a couple of 4 day weekends coming up I am hoping to get this area carved down, plastered and at least basic ground foamed. 

Bottom tunnel is main and siding approx 3' long. The top entrance is going to a branch line staging yard. 

Some real beauties, guys!

Thanks for sharing!  Please keep them coming.

Some tunnels on the AnneliesVille RR

Still under construction and some 'finishing' needs applied....

Hope you enjoy !
