For this display we wanted little kids to see the trains. The upside down vinyl gutter worked well to define the boundry. No problems with feet on trains or kids pushing trains off track. Kids loved the trains low. I set up a switching layout for kids to control with the LGB uncoupling loco and four cars. The dynamite car was the task to move without exploding. If successful the kid, and only kids managed to not blow up the dynamite car, that kid could run trains on the main track.
The display was conceived as a kid friendly view. No kids damaged or violated the upside down vinyl gutter "fence". This is a "Couch Potato" theme layout as if in a living room complete with love seat, coffee table, small carpet, and TV with track running around the faux living room. Kids loved being able to see the trains. If a kid did touch a train, no damage should occur.
LOVE IT!!!!!
