as wide as you need for one track or the width X3 for 2 tracks , that will give you clearence for passing wide loads, [:D] Try EBAY ( but buyer beware [V])or try some of the links on the home page.[:)] as for as the tunnel your biggest, tallest,and longest car needs to able to pass thru it , Try building with a portal as the guide or 2x10's side's top and bottem as a way of preventing tunnel colapse

The head is gray, hands don't work , back is weak, legs give out, eyes are gone, money go's and my wife still love's Me.

ok guys thanks for your help with the path, decided im gonna cut out two sections for the track to run through , having not yet bought my digital starter set with two locos and a box of straights 1.2 metere (LGB) the set is
LGB78257
G Scale
MTS Digital Starter Set
i was wondering what clearance i should give it , or how big a gap i need to leave .....also im planing a tunnel just a straight tunnel under my soon to be arranged rockery what size does the tunnel need to be height width for reasonable clearance ... . also where can i find this starter set in the uk at a reasonable price , ive seen it available in the us for just over 350 pounds but cheapest in the uk is £561 pounds , can you get a convertor to use the us version on a uk power supply.
sorry to be a pain but i am a complete novice to garden railraoding
regards neil
