Looking for a short portal WITH a tunnel structure around it.

[frogpipe]

We have the Portal (crazy long track with a tunnel over/around it)
Basic Portal (same length as portal but with NO tunnel over/around it)
Short Basic Portal (self descriptive)

but no short portal with tunnel over it... Or at least I can't find one.

Why don't you use a regular track tunnel and attach/hide your portal in front of it! That's what I did, it takes some work to get the portal track at the correct height.

You know it's funny, I cobble together buildings using various objects all the time, but I never thought to do that...

There are also portal objects that are trackside objects. Some of the German content creators made those, but I can't remember who. I think I got the asset when I downloaded a route but I can't remember the route either.
Sorry for the useless answer. My meds are making me a bit sick to my stomach and I should lay down.

Bit off topic for this thread, but speaking of portals, what is a rerail portal?

I just copied this off the download station. Says it all really

Description:
A Portal that extends the functionality of the standard Auran portal as follows:

Adds the ability to re-rail trains/vehicles
- Monitors the whole map for de-railed trains.
- Choose to re-rail or delete the derailed train.
- Choose to filter the de-railed trains that can be handled by this portal.
- The trains will be re-railed with their current driver, schedule and vehicle loads (where applicable).

Production changes
- A production start delay can now be set, as well as the production period time.
- A consist for production can be selected either randomly or sequentially from the consist list.
- Consists that do not contain a locomotive are now emitted from the portal correctly.

Consumption changes
- Vehicles entering the portal at a high speed (200 mph/320 kph) are now consumed correctly.

These portals are designed to be compatible with the standard portal, allowing easy replacement of a standard portal on a route where re-railing functionality is desired.


I have used them in some of my routes and found that they work well
