If you have one too many tracks...

Just stack em!



I followed Harry's/ Larry Lype's webpage about using a door. Bought a 36x80 door at Lowes ($34), some green paint ($13), and some sealer ($5). I used 1/2 pipe to safely support the door over my existing track. Safely was the key word since I would not want the door impacting my plywood track below. The pipes measure out to 38 inches above the floor, just perfect for height over my track. The track is still being assembled but you get the idea...

Great idea! Good looking layout!

Outstanding.

Mokid had a setup using this kind of support years ago too.

Nice job sir!

Oh, I wanted to add, that quart of paint I bought will paint another 20 doors. I was also thinking about setting up the sand van/red dunes track to really make it POP against the brilliant green background. LOL. The 1/2 inch pipe is a tad expensive but it does have a lot of rigidity and simplicity of use. The primary factor for me was minimal storage space when not in use and pipe fit the bill perfectly.

That is a great idea! Nice work on the extra track.

Makes great hand railings to the Man Cave too ;)

Yup, I have some 1-inch as my hand rail to step down from the kitchen into the garage. I like this stuff! LOL. Reminds me of the pipe fence used around my elementary school.

I just came across this. NICE!...I wonder if PVC could work also.....GREAT idea!

Cool idea, was wondering how I was gonna fit a third track in my building.
