Hi Hal, The mountain is 30 inches high and about 56 inches at the base. I used the standard lionel radius track and spaced it out using straight tracks. The smallest diameter of the track is the top of the mountain where I just used curves and no straights. (comtinued)
Thanks, I'm glad that you like them, they are in my basement. If you look at my other videos, you will find my original setup and then my new and improved 2008. I tried to use less space so I could possibly leave it up all year.
Haha! Very nice setup! I have the Polar Express G Gauge set around our tree!

Is that Z .. N...and HO scale? or is that Z and 3 sets of n guade on the platform?
You should see my Jaws video that involves 2 scale models overlapping within their tracks!

For the actual construction of the mountain, I layed out the track the way I wanted it and then I sawed out 1/4 inch
