Well - we got the rest of the "more room" finished Smile 2 new display areas.
This one is 32" by 16" "L" shaped:

   

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

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.
