Here are some pics of my G scale outdoor layout tunnel/sprinkler valve cover. I have also added some pics of the making of my layout. If you are interested in a cover/tunnel let me know I will send you a link to the company I bought it from.

I dont own my own house, so I cant do this yet, but I was wondering, did you pour all the track base? If so, what did you use as a mold? BTW, your layout looks awesome!

I used bender board from Home Depot and stakes tohold in place. I mixed my own concrete with pea sized rock. The bridge was a form built out of cardboard and 1/4" plywood with 1"x1" on top held together through the cardboard circles with bolts same concrete mix and I used a back massager to vibrate the mix
