I remember, about four or five years ago watching a documentary on this very subject, and several engineers were interviewed, and they all said the same thing. On each and every cross country trip that they made, they hit an average of five cars, because of loud music, or idiots trying to beat...

That would be me guys.:wave: Been so busy though that I'm still at the benchwork stage.:cry:

I watched "The Shining" last night, and it gave me another idea. I could put in a hedge maze like the one in the movie, complete with little lights. I could even have people being chased through it by ghosts!(Lets not get started on the obvious Pac Man refrences here LOL)

Thanks viperman! Heeeeeeeeers Johnny!

Thanks for the tips Clark. I've got some thunder wavs already. The info on the smoke residue was new to me though, you sure saved me alot of trouble and mess there! The drive in theatre is a pretty cool idea too Jules! It would be a nice way to pay homage to an almost extinct piece of some...

Thanks Eric. A pretty cool idea!

Thank you Larry!!!! There is no way that I could have thrown myself twenty feet across a room either, and yet, even though that is a fact,(I have a sworn affidavit from the witness, and video to back it up), when these are presented to the "Scientific Community", the result is the usual...

Actually, that's basically what I had in mind, except this layout is going to be my way of not taking the moniker of "Agent Mulder" too seriously. I plan to play the theme from "The X-Files" in the background.

Pretty good idea. I was planning to put in some sound effects. Maybe I could find some way of simulating the sound of a train wreck too!

Thanks to one and all for all of the really great ideas that you guys have posted! My benchwork will be completed this weekend, with the help of some friends, then the fun begins! I've pretty much figured out where everything's gonna go, but I've just had another brainstorm. What if I put in a...

It's sad to see "When Plastic Goes Bad". Hopefully the crime rate amongst the little folk won't get outta hand. Pretty good scene.

Just what I was lookin' for! Thanx!

I've seen some castles on ebay and elsewhere that would be perfect for that.

I really like the idea of having the train in the coffee table!!

As it stands now, the plan is to have the entire room lit with flourescent blackights when the layout is complete and operational, but regular flourescents when it is not in use.

Well, I figure that since I've got the space, and nothing else to use it for...why not?

Yeah, I've planned on using a fair number of magnetically operated scenes.

Well, I've got a room in my basement that's 15 by 30 feet and I plan to use most of it.

I suppose if I properly angled some mirrors around a stretch of track I could pull it off.

Not a bad idea! It would take some work, but the results would be worth the time.
