I would like to have a train layout, with permanent structures, supplemental vehicles, and so forth, but I really do not have the room for it. Has anyone come up with a creative way to build, run, and store a lego train layout in a small space? For (...) (17 years ago, 18-Jul-07, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I had not considered the effect of sunlight on the bricks. That's a show stopper for me, as I would like to leave structures in place, even if the trains come indoors after each use. Thank you to everyone for the suggestions and information. (...) (17 years ago, 18-Jul-07, to lugnet.trains)

(...) As advised elsewhere, the answer is "no", UNLESS.... you do as I am going to do. My next Big Thing® is going to be creating 12 wide LEGO trains that utilize G scale track, trucks, couplers, and motors. I will run them outdoors (but won't leave (...)
