Trigg loves his trains! His tracks were starting to sprawl across the floor and needed to be contained. We have seen train tables online but with a price tag around $150 I was in the market to find a different solution.
Old coffee table! I popped the top off and it will fit into the space perfectly!
Next task...build a new top.
I used some left over material that I had in the garage. I made a "cut out" in the middle so Trigg could reach the backside of the table or the "other side of the tracks". I attached sides all around the table to contain run-away trains.
Here is the table, all constructed with tracks and trains chugging.
Phase 1 of the table and Trigg is pretty excited!
Phase 2, I painted the edges white and we got a few more pieces to the track!
Phase 3, painted the "grass" green and a new layout for the tracks.
There will probably be Phase 4 and maybe Phase 5 and 6 in the future. Trigg has mentioned having a blue pond or stream running through the "landscape" and also adding Cranky the Crane or a windmill to the track, but for now our train table is up and running!
