I realize that I announced this once before but that was a more limited announcement as the Shelf Railway was not quite complete. Anyway I have now applied the final coat of paint to the shelf that supports our LEGO Shelf Railway and I slightly (...)

Great work, it really looks nice. If you find that it is too noisy, you might look into the cork subroadbed that is advertized in the model railroading magazines. I am pretty sure there is one 6 inches wide. Michel Magnan (...) (24 years ago, 8-Aug-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.org.us.nelug, lugnet.fun.crafts)

I agree with James, a nice slow running train may be just the thing to lull baby to sleep. So if it's a girl are you going to (...)

Very cool indeed Eric!! What's the noise level like? I would think being that close to the ceiling you'd get quite a bit of noise, of course it being a steady sound of the trains running across the tracks could be a good thing. I think that would (...)

hi Jamie! thanks for looking. I tried the web but everyone wanted to sell molds not say how to make them. The reason I thought of lead bricks is due to the lead sinkers I used on my rope throwing device( climbing trees is real easy when you can (...) (24 years ago, 29-Jun-00, to lugnet.fun.crafts)
