    Download Snapseed, you can manipulate your photos and once you save, it will always be upright. Fabulous program once you learn its basics.

    Looks like a scene from Roger Rabbit going to tune town where the blind opens just before entering the tunnel

    That would be a fun scene. I put a planes fire and rescue scene on my layout.

    Actually I’m going to scrap the portal. I plan to build a more modern looking one that will be more in keeping with the setting of the layout. This will be out of wood and will have a more cast-in-place concrete look. As well as some reinforcing concrete around the openings. I though it out today. I should be able to cut it out this weekend.

    If you're not happy with it, Dale, now's definitely the time to change it. Looking forward to seeing the new, improved version.

    Just so you guys know I wasn’t a slacker this weekend. Made from MDF board, scribed pour lines and added strips of MDF for the columns and fascia. There will be a rock face extending to the left of the portal and some rock along the top. I will add trees and brush in front of the rock face and do painted trees above. I am looking for the appropriate photo to go in the tunnel.

    Thanks for dropping in,
    D

    The new tunnel portal looks great Dale. Maybe you can find a suitable pic like this one that you could put in the highway side to give it some depth. just a thought
