s13 0 Report post Posted September 21, 2010 well was bit bored on the weekend and was cleaning up all my un-used track and had a funny idea. so Ive started making a coffee table track. small oval track 4 corners on either end with a straight and a corssover (so making it 1 long lane). going to build it on a small coffee table. something to put drinks and nibblies on and to have a bit of fun with :whip2: what do you guys think ? has it been done before ?

Captain 1 Report post Posted September 28, 2010 Maybe I am thinking of something a little different to what you had in mind, but my initial thought was that you would put a glass top over the track, so the car ran under the glass - Is that what you were thinking? I thought you could make it below glass and have the guide modified so that it hooks in under the rails and hence can't deslot... I mean it would just be for a bit of fun anyway - like a novelty track or talking point while entertaining. That way you could make some flash looking scene under glass without ever worrying about reslotting it while entertaining. I'm guessing you'd have to rout the track for that.

Eno the Wonderdog 7 Report post Posted September 29, 2010 I saw a coffee table in Ikea with a glass top & a display drawer. Wendy suggested setting up the n gauge railway in it.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kalbfellp 68 Report post Posted September 29, 2010 A guy had a track mounted under his dinning table so that it could be turned over to provide some after dinner racing! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bulsara 6 Report post Posted September 29, 2010 Glass topped coffee tables can contain all sorts of wondrous items. Mine contains a Fender Stratocaster. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

s13 0 Report post Posted November 30, 2012 got some spare time recently and painted this track up. small track with 1 crossover so only 1 lane. good for kids to play on. i have installed a switch that limits the speed of the track when kids play. when they master this track on full speed they can advance to the big track. plus it acts as a good coffee table for parties Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
