The Christmas Model train layout looks great but I was wondering why it's was 4' above the floor where 90% of the children can't see it, until I saw a little girl try to move the trains by hand, [ she was talked to by a Amtrak employee ]
Next Year, maybe you could lower it to about 2' and continue the plastic side shields over the top to keep little hands away from it but allow more little people to enjoy it.
Nice Display,
Thanks from your traveling public.

After 2 years of gathering 20 pieces of lighting equipment, Street lights,Beacons,Houses,Traffic Signals etc and snaking the wiring,I hooked up all the items and connected the leads to a Bachman controller, [AC side] and the system lights up for a second then fades out, after a short time period the same thing repeats.[ Thermal overload ? ]-Do I need a heavy duty transformer,if so, what is recommended ?
