Thanks Uteram.
Here's another a little farther away to show how the tunnel "afterthought" fits in the corner. Not much space. You've got to imagine the mountain behind it ya' know.
Btw thats ol' reliable on the trestle, my favorite engine. It knows what a concrete floor is. I've rebuilt it several times into different looks. The plow is fused (rusted) on so it just stays year round.

That looks great t. !!! John Henry would be proud. The rugged rock conveys the impression that it took a lot of hard work to blast and dig that hole. Cool locomotive too!

Your rocks are superb. A splash of colour on them and the portal then we get to see your next photo?? .. I sure hope so.
What was the rates for the Chinamen who dug that tunnel??

You've done a good job of capturing the look of rugged mountain railroading.

Thanks again for the compliments guys.
Shamus, that old engine has nerves of steel. The only thing it's afraid of is my wife and her vacum cleaner.
Kettlestack, Whatever the pay was it wasn't enough.

Thanks Marty.
Bill, yes it's the one. Still needs the front coupler installed and some other odd's & ends. Thinking about making a different style headlamp. But it's running.
