Making The Railway Tunnel

This article is a photographic record of the re-building of our tunnel to nowhere. The original tunnel suffered deterioration and so a re-build was necessary.

 

Why a tunnel to nowhere, please read on. 

As you can see the track ends abruptly and would look odd in a valley to say the least, and so we decide to finish it off with a tunnel

 

 

This was the original tunnel 

 

Has that train really come through there? 

 

The frame work for the new tunnel .

 

Stained with hardboard shaped to make the actual tunnel roof and sides. 

 

Cut down and fixed into place. 

 

 Inner tunnel also stained.

 

The Right way up. 

 

The Portal resting in place to give an idea of the front of the tunnel.
