Here is my advise.....don't listen to advise on height. Do what is comfortable for you. I know a guy that built one so high he was looking at eye level. It sounded good to him, but in reality it wasn't much fun to operate. Mine is 40 inches high at the lowest track level with one ravine going below that by a foot, the highest track point is 48 inches over the floor level. I find it very pleasing to operate, and Barney is able to fly over very nicely. (I'm 5' 4" tall)
