yeah it gets wobbly. If I am going to keep it as it I would reinforce it and somehow attach it to the wall. Maybe when I finish remodeling Evan's bedroom, but not yet Big Grin

Great job! They look like they could be some sort of modern art scupltures. But you haven't put trains in them yet? I am surprised. Tongue So if you beat 17 ft 4", you'd have the record! Maybe try to break the longest train set at the same time as well... Tongue

She assebled the round tracks while I installed the girders, so the build went pretty quick.

That was awesome ActionChugger. A great production worthy of an Oscar nomination. Was fun to watch. Thanks for sharing with us and your passion for building and enjoying these toys with Evan.

I hope you are going to burn all these videos to a disk and store them away with the trains so when Evan brings them out in 20 years for his son he can watch them.

Well, if anything, you have a great place to display the trains. Like a shelf unit. Looking good. [Image: good-job-smiley-emoticon.gif]
