Looking for Interrail suspended train system covering a rectangle 30 feet by 10 feet. Please advise if you know anyone selling this discontinued product.
Your query intrigued me so I had a wee search of the interweb and found these, not exactly the same but similar systemsLooking for Interrail suspended train system covering a rectangle 30 feet by 10 feet. Please advise if you know anyone selling this discontinued product.
Maybe Americans are of above average height.I have to confess that I have never understood the concept of suspending track from the ceiling, it appears to be a predominately US idea. I accept that in the real world there are elevated railways but these are a necessity to provide transport for the masses in a crowded environment. I have never understood spending a lot of money on a model railway only to suspend it at an unnatural height where you cannot see it properly and appreciate the detail.

Maybe they are used as a means to connect rooms and possibly connect different levels in the home with one of these.I have to confess that I have never understood the concept of suspending track from the ceiling, it appears to be a predominately US idea.

I think our wives to two timing us. I've seen these systems and they just won't work in my finished basement. The interrail is most discrete. My local hobby shop actually has the moulds purchased from the inventor but the tooling for the metal support is too expensive. My best bet is to find someone who is getting rid of system. Old timer maybe or a train convention. Not sure why these other systems are so bulky but oh well. I guess not much demand. I waited 1 year too long to order when inventor closed up shop. May give up one day and try these out or make something myself. Thanks for detailed response!

Showed my wife who said noooo with a load voice, so I'm guessing were not going to have one in the house
Thanks, I've got 9' basement ceilings and yes I've only seen in restaurants but 20 years ago. And yes the wife is not a fan but....Yes, on average, the average "american" is 1" taller than a male from the UK now that you mention it.
This elevated railways are often used in restaurants and hobby shops and other shops. They then do not take costly floor space.
There are also people who want a train indoors but again are not allowed to use floor space.
Finally there are people who do the proper job of an indoor railway, but they are not married. ;-)
High level in a kitchen..Sat thinking, I could have one running round my kitchen above the cupboards. Funny what you notice then, whoever but the cupboards in did not put them all at he same height, from the top of the cupboard to the ceiling varies by 2 inches in the different banks of cupboards ... but no Wife to object to my silly ideas now
Dutch are the tallest.Maybe Americans are of above average height.
Not according to the US 'World Population review' for 2023. Average US male is 1 cm shorter and the average US female is 0.5 cm shorter.Yes, on average, the average "american" is 1" taller than a male from the UK now that you mention it.
Dutch are the tallest.
.that is cus of evolution.... Before they had dykes they used to walk on their tippy toes to gasp for air. .....evolution. This is a joke that I thought of.
What part is shorter though?Not according to the US 'World Population review' for 2023. Average US male is 1 cm shorter and the average US female is 0.5 cm shorter.
