That's a fantastic layout! Great work saving and sharing it, TYVM!

11:20 track joiners are a couple of bucks. They slip on and off and will keep the track in alignment

[dan.man]

What a great project! Love the enthusiasm.

[RCTanksTrucks]

Awesome, I remembered that from Castle Hill. My kids love it.

[craigelliott]

Someone put a lot of love into that set!

You _clearly_ need to whip up another section! :) You'll need the 'Doom Town' bomb testing range, jet sled, and other US desert locations from Crystal Skull.

I can't even imagine the hours the staff put into making this, it's really impressive. It's so awesome to be able to save it so all that time doesn't go to waste

[davidamoody]

Wow, had never considered something like this, would make an interesting project to create a whole new railway based on a popular film or tv series. Thanks for sharing :-)

[cup_and_cone]

that hobby shop really looked like they cared (more than I can say for a lot of hobby shops), building these cool displays, and didn't deserve to go out of business. shame.

[RainerTrunk]

Thanks for the Video we wait long for it.

[miket]

you can solder the track back together. when i made a layout back in the day i soldered all the joints

[dennissmithjr.]

I was wondering what happened to it, thanks for sharing.

[TonyFleetwood]

holy cow, i forgot about that thing! im glad it never hit the skip!

[LEKProductions]

"could be extended..." Then extend it... Massively!!!

[jabelsjabels]

really curious to see how this comes together!

[MrMaxeemum]

You have to show this to the public. It really is a work of art. Just think of of the hours spent making this, ok they didn't have the fineness to finish the electrical stuff but the effects are beautiful. Please finish it off and do the original maker justice. Not sure about the crystal skull stuff but if you do go ahead I think it should definitely be a different section. Thanks for rescuing it. Show it. Show it. Show it.

[AdrianTechWizard]

That's an awesome model Dave.

Shame about the hobby store...

[ASilentS]

Good ideas for the rocket sled?
The trash?

[arthurmann]

What a really wonderful and unique train set! It makes me feel depressed when I see a hobby shop go out of business, especially one as cool as that one was. My dad and I spent many hours in our local hobby shops back in yesteryear picking out those special parts and supplies for our father/son projects. I sure miss my dad. I can see him now building and flying his planes in the heavens. Have fun dad until we meet again! :-)

It beggars belief the amazing things people throw away. This is amazing.
