On a previous layout my father and I constructed, we made a wall that was glued to a 3foot long 2 x 4. The rest of the tunnel we didnt have any interior walls or anything. We lined up thinner pieces of wood with the tunnel portals. The pices of wood didnt matter cause where they were restin was on the edge of the table. <br /> <br />We then drilled holes in 4 - 6 spots through these pieces of wood and glued dowells in them. THen we had 1 1/2 thick foam that sat on top and was held on with the dowels. The dowels didnt show at all, but this made it easy to lift this section up if there was a derailment. <br /> <br />It worked out pretty well, until we expanded the city that was on top of the tunnel. Sorry I dont have any pictures of this. <br /> <br />DON
