Tunnels

[Mikeyg]

Is there anyone out there able to point me to a tutorial that will show me how to create tunnels. It is driving me up the wall. I am having real difficulty in creating a tunnel within a cutting and when ever I place the tunnel mouth and track in situ and cover the tunnel I see at each end part of the base board though locomotive appear to drive through the based board as if it was not there !!

Hi - You need the AJS "dig-hole". There are others with similar names. This makes a hole in the base board and when on a slant will make a "doorway". Place the tunnel entrance (portal) in front of this (centrally) and you should now be able to see right into your tunnel. If you look down into the hole you should see a spot or cross (depending on which hole maker you use) and you can click on this to delete the hole if it is in the wrong place or you do not need it anymore.

Hope this helps
Doug

If you search the forum for Tunnel there have been several threads recently dealing with how to do this.
