The portal features raised brick courses, stone arch rings, and decorative stone framing to represent classic masonry tunnel construction used on North American railroads. The design prints cleanly on standard 0.4 mm nozzle printers and looks excellent when printed with a color change to highlight the brickwork. Perfect for adding a realistic tunnel entrance to your N scale layout. Scale N Scale (1:160) Designed for double track mainlines.
