Title:	Riding a Thin Rail

Overview	This is almost like watching a NASCAR race because you're waiting to see a crash. It's a beautiful setting but just a little too much Trust and Gravity are built into the design for my liking. If you had bad knees it would be almost justifiable. I enjoyed watching it, but I was as nervous as a bull in room full of red rocking chairs. Maybe a little guardrail would have eased my pain.

high trust

I do not know if I would place gaurd rails along the track or hang a net underneath. It scares me.

High trust

Beautiful woodwork. I believe that's bull in a china shop or cat in a room full of rockers. You obviously have no grandchildren. Loved it.

Ouch..

I have grandchildren. And I got a headache coming up with the "nervous as a bull in room full of red rocking chairs".

What is the problem?

My roadbed (where it is elevated above grade) is 1/2 inch clear lucite 6 inches wide. It really looks like the train is travelling in space. I support it about every 15 to 18 inches with electrical conduit. Had one calamity with an Aristo Mikado going over the side. Have been a lot more careful since.
