Attached are photos of a tunnel which a friend of mine owns and is trying to identify. It’s made out of metal, is about 12” long and it’s high enough and wide enough to fit a standard gauge train. There is a small castle on the side not pictured which suggests it may be European. Anybody recognize it?
Thanks for any help,
Bill

It is a German MARKLIN tunnel. Reference 2521/1 and it dates from 1915 to 1930. There is many color variations as they where hand painted.

Hi Daniel:
Merci beaucoup for the information on the tunnel and the link to that data base.
