Pretty neat idea! You should sell these with company logos or sport teams or something on them...

[Xrdaddy1]

Thanks for the kudos. I was going to try to sell this one, but once I finished it, I didn't want to anymore. Would be nice to generate some revenue though.

Awesome!

His first attempt was in a duffel bag!

Will it work in a Samsonite?

[Bricklin1975]

Amazing Craftsmanship!

A masterpiece!

I've thought of an idea you could probably use, interchangeable suitcases. Basically you cut a hole in the side of the suitcase, only wide enough for one train to go through, and then have a track diverge from the main line towards the outside of this hole, then have the same done to a second suitcase, and when you fit them together, and place a track in between, the trains from both suitcases can interchangeably move from suitcase to suitcase.

Now try fitting a real train in a suitcase.

Good idea, next one I do i may have to look at the feasibility of using eyeglass cases, the foam works pretty good though and it's cheap, but it was a pain to cut out the rectangles.
