Built by the Great Northern Railway in 1909, the 61 mile line branched off the mainline at the Columbia River and snaked its way up across Douglas County, WA to its terminus in Mansfield. In 1985 it was abandoned, thus closing the book on railroading on the Waterville Plateau. This blog is dedicated to preserving the history of the Mansfield Branch Line and Waterville Railway Co., as well as showcasing my scratch built HO scale models.
I need to model a timber portal in G scale for our club layout. I'm a Great Northern modeler and would like to use the geometry of this tunnel for the model. Do you have any drawings or sketches you could share? If not, what are the angles and dimensions of the portal bracing timbers that project out of the front of the portal?
