It is definately sturdy to run around a track and hold up
to adult handling (holding from both ends). It would not survive child play in
it's current form. The interior is completely hollow except for 1 2x8 plate
running from roof to floor at each set of doors. I could have added more but
that would have interrupted the corrugated roof. There is a 4x8 plate on each
end.
