The Anything Tunnel of Make-Believe is the fictional kingdom inhabited by the cartoon characters on the children's television program [|Shining Time Station], produced from January 1989 to June 1993.

Bio
The adventures of the citizens of the Anything Tunnel of Make-Believe appear in a short segment once in the middle of almost every episode. Shack deliberately makes clear the distinction between the "real world" and the Neighborhood of Make-Believe by transitioning in and out of the station segment via a distinctive yellow model electric trolley that enters and exits through small tunnels in the mural (or occasionally by setting up small tabletop models of the various Anything Tunnel of Make Believe buildings), and by discussing what had happened with the audience after the end of each segment. The same storyline continues for a week or more (similar to a soap opera), though Shack is always sure to recap the plot for children.
