I purchased a bunch of plastic sheet products from you a a couple of months ago, & I'm glad I took your recommendation to go up a scale. The HO will look just fine for my N-scale builds. Great Video, DJ! -Mike

I would like to suggest a different way to cut your tunnel portal. Cut up the center line from bottom to the curve. Then cut along the curve in both directions to the line marking your widest point. Turn the plastic over and score along the lines marking the widest point. Turn it back over and fold the center pieces down ward on a sharp edge to a 90 degree angle . Slide the tunnel portal into the tunnel .You now have a tunnel portal with a liner for the first couple of inches. Love your videos.

This will play well with a T-Trak module I am planning on building later this spring. I used to use paper towel rolls cut to about 2 inches, slit open and painted flat black inside. That was actually quite successful for single track tunnel portals. Never considered using brick sheet stock for the liner. Will be trying that for this upcoming project. Guess it is time to get my order in.

Nice video. It sometimes amazes me how many modelers will add curves and tunnels without thinking about "Why the railroad would have done that". The railroad always wants the straitest, flattest rouge they can make for the cheapest price. PS love the drone footage at the end.

The reason it looks right is because retaining walls are usually made out of fairly large cement blocks.

Back in the day, the early 1950's, the B&O's Howard Street Tunnel was double track for passenger trains and nominally single track for freights. The passenger tracks were in the normal location for a double track tunnel - the freight track was a gauntlet track that was in the middle of the tunnel and took advantage of the higher clearance of the arch in the center of the tunnel. Shortly after the B&O stopped their passenger service between Washington and New York the passenger tracks were removed and only the freight track remained. Over the subsequent years the clearance has be raised, when I worked in Baltimore 17'3" open top auto racks could operate at track speed (25 MPH) 17'5" racks were restricted to 10 MPH. In the 2000's the tunnel can handle 19'2" auto racks and double stacks - a project is now being undertaken to permit the movement of 20'2" auto racks and double stacks. I don't know when the projects expected completion is.

Great details - thanks. I was waiting for the tunnel to disappear at the end. ;-) ... Ditto on the running speed of trains. Here's a quick way I use to calculate speeds. My SW9 is 45 ft. long (for round numbers). If it goes past a point on the rails in 1 second, it's travelling 45 fps (feet/sec). Using a calculator (iphone or online) that converts to 30 mph. So - if I want to go at 10 mph, (15 fps) it should take 3 seconds to move past a point. That's actually challenging for a lot of models to run that slowly and still be smooth.

Burke,Idaho,a ghost town in the Idaho panhandle,sat in a valley so narrow that the rail line had to be run through a hotel lobby. Now I know that’s not a tunnel as such,but this video reminded me of it,and I thought something like that might make a good modeling project. Are you familiar with any such structures in your area?
