Hi there,

I am creating a circular train track which will be a basic complete circle. I
would like to add a small tunnel to this, but not sure where to start. Are there
any pre-built tunnels available, or would it be a case of building one from scratch?
Also, wondering if it would work being on a curve.

Any suggestions would be great, thanks

Sniff around instagram, tik-tok and facebook Reels. There are some people out
there working on mega cities that will offer you a gold mine of inspiration.
This one cat in Germany has exactly what you're looking for. The "mountain"
is whatever shape he wants and it's in the corner of the city. It's
supported with these:
 
Part No: 95347  Name: Support 2 x 2 x 10 Girder Triangular Vertical - Type 4 - 3 Posts, 3 Sections
* 
95347 Support 2 x 2 x 10 Girder Triangular Vertical - Type 4 - 3 Posts, 3 Sections
Parts: Support {Red}

And then your imagination is the only upper limit to what you can do from there.
I'm using these for a 96x96 castle on a mountain for my kids and they are
extremely capable of supporting a cavernous void.
