Anyone up to doing this?

This is the tunnel on the Lewis and Clark RR (LINC) at Moulten Falls, WA built in 1901. I have the route laid down, and regular portals in place, but it doesn't look right.
Both portals could be used in may places, there's a lot of rock bores on the Columbia Gorge on both sides.

I could do it if someone could teach me how to make a lofted object that can be twisted to the needed area.

you could use the embankment cutting tool in the terrain with 90 degree angles, then make a terrain texture to fit it

would need some ferns

SAD has the ferns, and I've done the cuts. what I need are the wood portal and the rock portal. I buried the wings on the default, and it looks some better.

It's basically cut basalt rock. The East entrance is chiseled from the rock without any support. The West entrance has a timber support crib, as the rock was a little softer there. I have used the default rock bank from Kuju and got a fair looking result.

I live in a near rain forest environment, so moss and ferns covering every bit of the rock are very prevalent.

I would appreciate that. Please size it to fit over the standard scale rail tunnel portal. If you could do the rock portal and size it the same way, that would be much appreciated.

Thanks!
