Hi there! Welcome to the Marias Pass HO Scale Layout. My name is Cam. I'm a grad student who has loved trains and model railroading my whole life, and this channel aims to share that passion with you. Previously known as the Plains Division, which focused on helper operations over Crawford Hill, the layout has been rebranded and remodeled after the western grade of Marias Pass between Whitefish, MT and Marias summit.
---Layout Specs---
Double-deck, no helix design
Average grade: 1.1%
Max. grade: 2.6%
Mainline Run: about 200'
Min. Radius: 26"
Height: 38" to 66"
Control System: Digitrax

    I already tunnel portals from Woodland Scenics, so I will simply use them as a template. I would never have thought of that before. How did you paint the interior of the tunnels ? Are they simply bare rock ? Or are they lined with brick, or cut stone, or concrete ?

    You are super good with this video, super timing. I'm doing 25 tunnel portals for my layout, gradually getting simpler and simpler as enthusiasm is being tested to the limit. Card is a very good medium, and I feel much overlooked

    If you're getting tired of the tunnel portals, work on another project and go back to the tunnel portals when inspiration strikes again for them. Model railroading is supposed to be fun after all.
