Glenn:

Just in case you are not joking, the "gobbeldegook" in mabloodhound's post is what is know as a "link." In this case, the link is to a Google result showing numerous links to the Trainmaster Hobby shop in Buford, GA. Clicking on it takes you to a very large number (over 22,000) results for the search.

The results on the first Google page are the most relevant, and are frequently all that is required.

Try clicking on the "gobbeldegook."

Happy RRing,

Jerry

Thanks--usually when I have received a "link" there has been some semblance ofintelligibility to it--what I got that time seemed like someone haf been randomly tapping the keys--

I tried the email address on this shop see if I get a response--or at least not a reject.  gj 
Meanwhile--I'm trying to pin down the mfr of the portal and see if they have something that will clear one of the big K class locos--

Thanks, Jerry.   I just though everyone knew what a link looked like.

Hi Glenn,

I believe that was Scott Perry, who also started the HOGRR group on Yahoo Groups. Due to a job change Scott and family moved West (to Utah, I believe). You may be able to contact him thru the HOGRR Yahoo group, which I believe he still monitors, although it's not very active at this time.

Good Luck,
Bill in FL

Hi Glenn,

I don't know about his tunnel portals, but Scott used to make some great tree stump castings, the molds for which went to Dr. Ben's, who now produces them in both resin and plaster. The molds for the tunnel portals may have been included in that sale. I checked Ben's website and here's what I found (also available in plaster or resin): <http://www.debenllc.com/servlet/Categories> . Do any of these look like what you wanted?

It clearly says the portals were designed by Scott Perry http://www.debenllc.com/servlet/the-2385/Weathering-Scale-Model-Trains/Detail
