Blocky Rock Tunnel
We told you that blocky-looking rocks are often really strong, right? In some cases they’re strong enough that you can tunnel through them without having to build a timber or concrete tunnel portal at the ends of the tunnel. Those portals are only there to keep loose rocks from falling on the tracks, so if there aren’t likely to be any loose rocks falling off, then you can just leave nature alone.
Blocky Rock Tunnel lets you model an underground entrance in two different ways. We have engineered the piece so that it makes a ready-to-use HO scale portal, either right side up or upside down. We’ve demonstrated that here, with an unaltered piece on the left, followed by a portal that’s trimmed in the “right side up” configuration, and then another trimmed in the “upside down” configuration. You can see that the detail around the two trimmed pieces is different, but there is a strong resemblance between them. So, if you buy two Blocky Rock Tunnels, you can build a scene where everything looks like it fits together.
If you are working in different scales, you can easily cut Blocky Rock Tunnel to fit the space you are working with. In larger scales, it looks right at home as a smaller tunnel entrance at an underground mine. Turn it sideways, and you can have a double track portal in N scale. With a little bit of cutting and fitting, you can also use it for narrow gauge tunnels in O or S scales.
Dimensions are 8 inches by 7 inches.
