Hey Spence, it's about that time of year, so why not ask ole Santa for a 4x8 sheet of 3/16 Lexan to cut some strips out of. That's what I'm proposing we do to the Club "O" Gauge, as it will also take care of those little fingers that pass by when it's running, during one of our "Open to the Public" runs. That stuff is bullitt proof, not that we'll shoot at the trains, just a form of speech!
Glad to see that you got it running again. Now u can do the body work-n-paint, or do a heavy weathering job, or both.
Once again I'm glad that you shared your delima, as I bet it's made everyone who has read this post, think twice, and do a double take towards their layout, or both.
