Works great and keeps the trains off the floor.....yet you can still add presents to the base of the tree.
Many of us wind up moving a couch to make way for the tree....which would for a dog bone like you did last year.
Brilliant. Thanks for sharing.
I went with the dogbone concept at first because I could start building it in Oct or Nov. We would get a live Xmas tree after Thanksgiving. I made the section in front a head of time. just slide into position after the tree was in place. My first dogbone layout: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUXa4qVFwEA
However, problem- our older dog would stumble through it like Godzilla through Tokyo. We could come home and find derailed train cars and broken ceramic buildings, LOL. after that I lifted everthing up. my first elevated layout was 2014. it was smaller than what I have now (different house), but it is still one of my favorites: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gk7_b_cglMo
