Hi <br />I am building my first mountain and need alittle advice since I am building it as a gift for someone. I am building off a life like mountain (one of those prefab ones). I am in the process of painting it and adding the underbrush, lichen, <br />etc to it so that it is more realistic. I would like to add 2 tunnel portals to it so <br />it appears more realistic. The train set is a lionel O gauge <br /> <br />I have no experience in trains so any advice will be greatly appreciated. <br />My questions are <br /> <br />Is it possible to add one of those prefab portals to the life-like tunnel. If so <br />what kind of glue do I use to make it stick? <br /> <br />Which tunnels portals are the most realistic. I looked at woodland scenics but I noticed they didn't have one to fit O gauge and I also looked at Chooch single <br />cut portel? <br /> <br />If I am able to use the portal with the life -like mountain, do I buy a portal that is an exact gauge fit or do I need one larger to fit exactly on the mountain? <br /> <br />Is there any better way to make the tunnel portal such as using talus and placing on them the mountain my self <br /> <br />Thanks in advance for any tips or advice on how to make my mountain look <br />great [:)] <br /> <br />
