Thanks Super. Yeah I started out smaller and only had a few things then thought it needed more, and finally went all in and added everything I could fit..lol
I must say I do like the elevated layout more so than the floor, much easier on the back, knees, and mostly things seem to stay in place and feel more sturdy up off the floor. The down side is, you are limited by the size of the layout area, meaning if you need another 2” for a piece of track like I did (where the clear tunnel is by the Monorail side) then you may need to get creative. Other than that, elevated layout all the way..
I would love to take credit for the ice rink (mirror trick), but that was all the wife. I had an open area there and she said wait one min, and came back in with the mirror.. ah, genius.. haha..
. It does look pretty cool with all of the lights but may need some more..
