Actually, the raised baseplate from the RR Headquarters makes a good start
on a small tunnel/mountain.  The gap down the middle of the baseplate is
just the right size to lay 2 straight tracks through.  All you 8-wide
builders out there might have a problem, though : ).

You can build up from this baseplate and make a pretty good tunnel.  The
rest of the mountain is only limited by the number of bricks you have to
spare.

I've built a pretty good tunnel using two green baseplates and large quantity
of burps. The tunnel entrance uses a stepped 12 wide arch and is 12 studs
high. The entire length is 4 pieces of straight track but I'm working on
putting a curve at one end now. The outside isn't finished to my
satisfaciton yet, but so far I've got a waterfall and a service tunnel.
Someday, I'll get a scan of it to share.
