Bar Table Train Set Station

If I had a full sized man-cave, I would be sure to have a wall mounted train set but the train would leave the wall mounted area and descend down into a bar table with a glass covering so people could sit at the bar and see model trains passing by and there would be a terminal train station in there but it would work differently to a normal terminal station because it would use a bypass rail to allow trains to continue moving forward. They would even use the bypass rail to avoid the station all together and head back the otherway if they need it.

The station would have two platform islands that converge into a café in the middle. This means there would be 4 platforms. In each platform the train doesn't change direction, it continues to move forwards and rejoins the bypass rail that causes the train to turn around without changing direction. If it was real people would find it very easy to use. There would be a notification screen in the middle area and the passengers don't need to go over a foot bridge to change platforms. The other end of the bar table would just be like a model village with small buildings  and with the trains passing through them. 

Good times

When I was a young boy I remember getting a Hornby train set from my parents. I loved to play with it, the train was an Intercity. It looked accurate and it even made the "clackerdy clack" sound that trains make when it rolled across the tracks. It was electric powered and controlled by a gradient switch. It also had two lights on the front. I think that part of the joy of keeping toy trains is building the scenery for the train to travel through. Earlier in the week I saw on the news a man that built a one screen cinema in his back yard, that is very impressive. The projector was taken from a real cinema that closed down along with many other things inside. I was impressed that this man took his hobby to the next level.

I am grateful for such interesting news and good memories from childhood.
