If you use something like a Scenic Express foam portal, it is easy to cut some off the base to make it as tall or short as you want. I think the portals are all too tall so on the "Pennsy cut stone" portals I removed the bottom 2 courses of stone.
I've never bought them before. Are they all made of foam? how do you attach them to your layout? hot glue? do they come painted or is this something you can paint to match your scenery?

They come painted but you can enhance or weather very easily. I attached mine with either hot glue or wood glue....whichever you prefer.
