It requires at least 7" of clearance. I plan to have 9" inside the tunnel with 3" on either side of the rails to the edge of the tunnel wall. Some things still need to be fudged a little.
Twice a year, the G scale club has a couple of weekends of home layout tours. My two sons love seeing everybody elses layouts. My 6 year old really wants us to participate as part of the tour but right now he says that nobody will come to see ours because it is not interesting enough! You should hear his plans for expansion!
Oh, and if I ever need to, I plan on leaving the area above the middle of the tunnel somewhat clear so that I can dig it up and get in there if the need arises.
