We're working on a sort of modified dog-bone-in-a-dog-bone layout, and have a set of curves that come out of tunnels. As they are single tracks, I thought we could use single track portals. <br /> <br />My design partner (my 6 yr old) of course wants to run trains, so we ran them one night after the foam & plaster was done, but before the scenery or track was done (and the portals weren't glued inplace yet either). <br /> <br />Glad I have a son that wanted to "try out the layout".... our long (passenger) cars all clipped the sides of the portals...so we migrated to the double track portals.... and I learned (since this is our first layout) the importance of "dry runs" on your layout during the building process.
