Building Childrens' Train Table the BYOAC way?

<< < (3/5) > >>

Mark70:
I'm very tempted to do the train thing.  I always have been, ever since trips to a local hobby store which had a huge table.

This, however, is for my two year old son.  Anything electircal, or small parts have to be inaccessible.  The brio wooden trains are perfect.  I just have the burning need to put all kinds of prox sensors and switches and bells and whistles into it to make it a BYOAC type project.

ChadTower:

Don't overthink this one.  He's 2.  Just make sure it's a good layout and that the tracks are well secured to the tabletop.  I did mine from underneath with countersunk wood screws.  Took quite a while.

ClubNinja:
Agreed with Chad.  Don't overdo this one.  Sounds like you ought to build your own pimp-my-train-table in the basement.  Then, when he's older, play with that one together. 

SithMaster:
The BYOAC way?  So your going to start it now and finish when he turns 10 right?  ;D

When I think of trains I always remember the lego space mono rail set.  Combine that with slot cars that have to cross the tracks and you have a winner.

Mark70:
I finished my mame cabinet in two months of evenings.  It doesn't look like Pixelhugger's (I think it's pixelhugger... rocket logo, you know)

Anyhow.  Perhaps you're right.  Don't overdo it. 

Any thoughts on convertability?  Train table with  a cover or insert that lets it double as another kind of play table?
