Does anyone know if there are kits or plaster casts in HO scale for the Simplon Tunnel portals??? I'm looking specifically for the north portal, but a kit with both N. & S. is fine. I can only find the Pola/Faller N-scale version ... why not an HO?! Maybe there are some local, speciality kit makers in Europe/Switzerland that I just can't find ... Thanks in advance for any ideas!

I would think that this would be a reasonable project for somebody who had a 3D printer.

I found some tunnel portals, including the BLS Goppenstein (Loetschberg South Portal), but not a HO model of the Simplon Portal in Brig:

Maybe this shop has a suggestion on where you might be able to locate the model you are searching for (if it exists).

www.steinbogenviadukte.de under tunnel portals. Looks like he does at least one of them in N, I'm sure would be no problem for him to do in HO

He does stellar work, and even if not shown I'm sure he can build it. I've had him do a custom curved viaduct for me and the results were breathtaking, with pricing in my opinion being downright economical for the amount of work involved in building in.
