Rolling tunnel portals

[pfx]

Hello folks, just a quick query as to whether anyone has produced tunnel portals which are rollable? I'm working on a route which has a 1 in 46 incline but the existing fixed portals mean a short level section mid incline. The result is to increase the angle of incline, Any help greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Innis

Place the portals but don't attach the track to the portal, connect straight to the tunnel lining. Invisible track attached to the portal track should make it change to invisible or a short section of ballast spline.

I usually never attach track to the tunnel track, but float, and lay my own separate single track @ 0.02m higher than the original tunnel track, covering it up

Thanks guys. Can't believe I've never thought of that before.

I created several spline type tunnel portals that work with dig holes. You can adjust the grade by simply raising one end of the portal to meet your grade. They do not attach to the track, but are installed just below it. There are two tunnels that attach to these portals, and are also installed just below the track. You'll find them on the DLS under "jrfolco", or do a search for my Kuid number "73500". I've used them on most of my routes in case you want to view them in in Surveyor and Driver.
