Work Started on the Sutro Tunnel in 1869 and was completed in 1878. This kit represents the cement portal face that was built in 1888, and still survives to this day. Doors, which would be opened and closed to regulate air flow, are included and positionable. The left side was for the rails while the right was for the water flume.
The doors are large enough to accommodate small, narrow gauge locomotives, such as a Porters.
This kit includes an option brick and cement candle house, which is directly adjacent to the tunnel portal, and was used to store fuel and candles for miner's lighting.
The Portal Face without the Candle House prints in 8 pieces, while the one with the Candle House in 10.
Ore Cars used at the Sutro Tunnel are available but sold separately.

Made-to-Order Manufacturing
At 3DPT, every model is manufactured to order rather than pulled from warehouse inventory. This approach allows us to offer an extensive catalog while ensuring each piece is produced with the care and attention it deserves.
Most orders ship within 7-14 business days. However, larger models, complex projects, and high-volume orders may require 4-6 weeks or longer due to extended print times and production requirements.
While extended lead times are uncommon, they may occasionally occur during periods of high demand or due to circumstances outside our control. We appreciate your understanding as we continue our mission of preserving transportation history in miniature through high-quality, made-to-order models.
