Yeah, and you know you're in bad shape when you have to call for help getting down from a ladder with only three steps.

Been there, done that ??? AM there, doing that !!! :o

Well - a few weeks later - It's completed!!

I even built a few shelves to display the extra rolling stock.

The left end of the layout and the head end of the ceiling train.

View down the front half of the loop showing the display shelves in front of the crossbuck and the display track on the rear half of the ceiling loop.

Back view of the U25B and a few more of the display track.

Good to see the trains running!

The lower track on this one is 7' long. These are powered, so that the lights work.

The pics of that train room make me feel like a little kid in a toy store. It's got to be a fun place to hang out.

........... and that's how it makes me feel too It's my basement, so I pass through here every time I leave the house It's a bit uplifting when leave for work in the morning

With the addition of the 2 display areas, you can't stand anywhere in the room and not see trains

Some more work OK - It's too much Fun to be called "work"

The roughly 12" X 14" wood enclosure built to hide the supports made with all thread rod. The bare all-thread is in the background.
