      rail line designed to connect entire continents

      https://www.proplumb365.co.uk/03-165090-underwater-rail-continents/

      So how do you model a tunnel that connects Europe to Africa? Do you model the two port cities and then shorten the 123km tunnel to make it fit? Since it is in Europe I see that it will be an electric train, but which one will become the next Big Boy, Mallard, or Orient-Express?

      Great for modeling under any rail system. Spanish and Moroccan countries will decide it. Since it is high speed will it be the Al Boraq or the Talgo 350.

      Engineers confirm that construction is underway on an underwater rail line designed to connect entire continents through a vast deep-sea tunnel

      Just a grey smear on the horizon, cranes like metal insects, and the low hum that never really stops. Then your eyes adjust and you notice the ships

        I guess that would be similar to modeling the Chunnel between England and France. Try finding some clear plastic pipe or tubing 4 inch (10 cm) diameter for HO scale. if your layout connects two rooms, put Europe on one side of the wall and Africa on the other. This would allow you to shorten the space and visually have little impact on the shorter distance,
