Hi Bob,
Its been a while how you doin'?
So how do you move that build around? Does it fit through a door way? Do you build it on site and then hang it? Ever done a train that circles the perimeter of the house? goes through walls and into other rooms? I think that would be really cool and a great conversation piece! One could put a series of flatbeds behind the locomotive and pull snacks from the kitchen to the guests in the living room! Hehehehe J/k
That definitely is a neat build. Cheers!Will it weld? I loooove electricity!

Very nice work. I like model trains but have no layouts at this time.
