Building Childrens' Train Table the BYOAC way?

(1/5) > >>

Mark70:
My son is now almost 2.  He loves trains and the Brio/Thomas wooden trains.  I've noticed a lot of play tables for sale which are very simple.

I thought that I would poll here to find out how would YOU build a train/lego table for your child?  The BYOAC way.

The best I've seen is a coffee table with a train diarama in side, a pinball coffee table, and a train table conversion with a quarry of cut foam for a kid who liked trucks more than trains.

Scroll through looking for a pine box table and a brunette sitting on the couch behind it.  Lights on.

Where do you live?  We have a train table that hasn't been used in years... I'll just give you the base if you're close enough.  All you'd have to do then is take a ply sheet and attach your tracks to it.  Ours is sitting vertically in a closet.

If Mark passes on this offer, let me know.  We have the platform with tracks and buildings attached, but no base.  I could probably give you a little something in trade for it.  Suppose I need to get the wagon highway-safe, too.

WAAAAAAY too far, though I'd love to hang out in Ontario again.  Been a long time.

ClubNinja, email sent.  No need to get the wagon highway ready - it probably can come apart enough for me to bring it to you.  I'd love to do it.
