Capping the mountain...

I have two tunnels on the east end of my layout. Naturally, by definition they tunnel through a mountain. Each tunnel (HO scale) is about 3 feet long with Woodland scenics tunnel portals at each end. The inside tunnel (they are both curves) is about 3" higher up than the outside tunnel. I am about to cap this mountain and am wondering if I should build it as a removable cap, incase of some need to access the inside of the tunnel. I already have a hand access point up through the bottom. FYI, my layout is 8x4, and I can walk around the end of the table so leaving the mountain open to the back is not possible. <br /> <br />Any advice? Is this a good idea? If you have modelled a mountain did you permanently attach the top of the mountain? <br /> <br />Trevor G[:p]
