I don't worry so much about getting it back together as much as I worry
about finding all the pieces again. Nothing worst than having to crawl
around the floor of a crowded convention center looking for pieces.
I prefer to be able to relax and enjoy talking with the crowd than having to
keep an eye out for little hands about to derail a train. So I think I'll
keep the glass up. If they want to touch then the play area is wide open for
them.
One of the funny things at a show once was that some of the kids had taken
the minifigs off the play table and started putting them on the other train
layouts at the show, so by the end of the day there was a minifig on each of
the different scale layouts in various spots, I think we got most of them back.
