    Lets see some Tunnel Shots !!!!

    This Can be a train Entering or exiting a tunnel on your layout.
    I don't want to just see the tunnel.. but the tunnel being used... in action.

    As we all know my layout is pathetic to say the least... but here are my Tunnel shots..

    dave n - AWESOME SHOT

    Mark Dance : Nice as !

    Tehachapifan : Cool Shot.

    Metro Redline : Nice work !

    That Steamer exiting the tunnel is great !

    Tunnels add more fun to a layout.. You can have a boring Circle bit of track... Chuck a tunnel or two on it and the layout appears to be larger..
    They also allow for some wicked scenery to be added without messing up the track....

    Keep them comming guys... your shots are inspirational...

    The track still needs to be snowed (next week) but otherwise the area is finished.

    Coming out of the tunnel, the engineer wasn't paying attention, or maybe the camera car he was pushing blocked his view:

    Unfortunately, the camera car wasn't recording at the time, or it would have been some awesome footage. :)

    Nice Mike. Where did you get that or did you make it from scratch?

    Train room is a mess right now, due to construction of the new shelf, so I'll re-post some older shots:
