If you are not a 100% purist you should consider making some long exteneders. Some (...) (24 years ago, 19-Jan-01, to lugnet.trains.org, lugnet.org.ca.nalug)

(...) One of my favourites was a "gun" made of two blue rails side-by-side, shooting another rail upside-down along the top. With a good rubber band, I could shoot the length of our hallway.

The layout we're working on now will have trains running at least four different heights, and maybe five if we can squeeze one more into the design... We try to put "interesting" things at (...)
