Well on the serious side having an old Victorian is pretty cool and in terms of
the Shelf it made for some "interesting" angles (To the eye not to the saw
blade ;-) The biggest benefit though is the High Ceiling which gave me a lot
of room to work with above the highest protrusion (The Window molding).
While I would have still done the project and no doubt enjoyed it I think if
this were done in a square room it might have lost something on the casual
viewer. With all the angles and turns the train makes it makes for a much more
eye pleasing exhibit.
Now I just have to convince my wife to put one of these in the adjoining room
and connect them via a tunnel ;-). OK that will have to wait a little while,
like until next summer.

| Just make sure to add in a powered door if you cut a hole in the wall - otherwise, you'll get too much sound transmission between the rooms. You can do it all Lego with a Mindstorm brick, or just be lazy and use a switch, timed relay, and Lego (...) (24 years ago, 27-Sep-00, to lugnet.trains)
