Im trying to set up a train set behind my computer i have boards to enlarge it but does it require pillars or screws to hold the boards up or will nails work?
I have one set up on top of my living room for 5 years. Hear a must:
1. Track rerailers after every turns. Train will get derail but having rerailer, you save time from climbing up there.
2. Track cleaner car. Tracks will get rusty so u need it to keep clean.
3. Use 2 or more locomotives and wire the contact wires together. The more contacts point shared the smoother operation run and less stop and go hestitant.
But I'm planning on doing my setup up in the air, by making a platform along the 4 walls of my home office. It is easy to do in wood, simply do arms and run the track itself on a floating arm. That is part of my office remodeling project for 2008. I'd like to hear from anyone who has a set up like that, along the top of the room just for the train to go around and around.
i still have a 0 guage lionel set in my dads house that my grandfather installed in '64. it runs the entire perimeter of the house anyhere from 4 feet(across the sink area to annoy his wife) or about 7 feet high (to clear the windows when open) i believe he used a lot of left over appearance grade lumber from remodelling and some modified cabinet supports to secure the assembly.
When I was a kid I grew up in a sugar cane plantation in cuba, and my father and stepfather were #1 & #2 in the place, so I had the run of the place. I would spend the days riding the trains with the engineers up front in the old locomotives. I'm now 53 and I returned 5 years ago and found the old machine rusting in the closed plantation, the same one I used to ride the most.

is there a way to make the train go uphill without a helix?
