After a lot of measuring and cutting I finally converted part of a Metcalfe Viaduct kit into a twin track tunnel mouth.

Keith. For inside the tunnel to stop light being seen (as they are hidden sidings possibly not an issue ) I hang 2 strips of black bin liner with several vertical cuts, offset by half of the cut width, that then hang like a curtain. Any rolling stock just brushes past them.

Good idea, thanks

Great craftsmanship, but I can’t help, but I think it would be better if the tunnel mouths were perpendicular to the track? As it stands, it doesn’t look like a plausible structure - why bother with the intermediate pier if it’s a void behind ?

Limited space and sharp curves meant this was the only practical solution. Also, no single arch tunnel mouths had a large enough span, hence this double track version. It will also match the yet to be finished arches which are destined for the front of the large white boxes.
