Tunnel Portals

Tunnel portals can be so much more than a hole in a hill! Off-the-shelf options are limited and don't always cooperate with curves and high clearance rolling stock, but custom portals can solve clearance issues and match specific prototypes, styles, and eras. With choices in materials, detailing, and finishes, custom portals makes your layout truly unique.
