sir james Wrote:Why do so many modelers build tunnels on their layouts?SJ, I think it adds the appearance of length to the model train route. A train can disappear into a tunnel and come out in another modeled world. I don't have a tunnel on my main but there are 2 on the branch line as well as a highway tunnel. It adds lots of interst.
I'm thinkin it might go back to the days when most train owners only put the train under the Christmas tree with a tunnel somewhere.
Your thoughts!
