Paul, this is a great thread, I suspect one other thought passes my mind, when we were young, kids, We thought as kids, we ran our beautiful trains on our floors, bedroom, living room, dining room, basement floor, attic floor, temporarily. We grew up, got married (or moved away from our parents home) , or settled down with a job or occupation that allows us to get back into our hobby and building our dream layouts. The big difference, now we want those trains to look realistic and sound realistic, and TADAH, and building our railroads at 48 inch’s to 50 inches off the floor gives us a birds eye view for much more realism. Yes, looking straight at those high tech Locomotives is so much more fun, and walk around Command Control makes it even more better….. I would love to visit Nicholas Smith trains, it’s simply a long drive from Clarksville Tennessee. Happy Railroading Everyone (1st level 44”, 2nd level 57”, 3rd level 76”)
