Impressive. I would want to either have a tall chair or sit on a ladder to watch!
Maybe a mobile double chair with wheels that you could change positions. |

Still moving forward. Just about done with track support layout, thought I'd throw a few trains up just to see what it's going to look like.
Now the hard part, getting track secured, eliminate all causes for derailment, smoothness and seamless track attachment, plus an inward cant of the curved track. I see a lot of shimming in my future.

Very nice! Keep us updated on your progress.
My dad still has his Lionel Trains set from the 40s. It is a huge set and would easily fill a 1,000 s.f. space. It is impressive. I have several of the engines and cars at my house on display. |

Good idea with the display. Once I get the track laying complete, I'll remove some memorabilia on the back wall and set up some display shelving for the rest of the trains.

Chugging along, decided to put up shelving to display rolling stock when not in use, at this time, more than half finished with that. Most of the structure has been fairly easy to put up, basic math and measurements......I'm not sure about that algebra thing.
Besides securing the track with a good level fit, with the corners canted inward, I think my biggest challenge will be a thin cable and support poles securing all the way around, inner and outer, to curtail any derailments that may fall onto vehicles. Oh no, can't have that happen.

A few more pics.
Slow work but enjoying, great winter project. Still have to install track, cant the curves, secure safety derailment guide wire, mount transformers, it's going to take me a while.
