Wow, a lot of nice detail work and a certain sense of humor (big foot wearing a respirator) in a relatively small space. Thanks for posting the links.

Great stuff...sounds like the kids would like a permanent layout. One observation - elevated FastTrack always looks peculiar to me (tubular only marginally better). I found the sound of the loon soothing, lol.

Some of those "mini-scenes" remind me of Frank53's layout.

That "temporary" layout is certainly busy and apparently kid friendly. Nice.

FastTrack with antigravity ballast is kind of disturbing. Lionel does make control rail sections for accessories that have the ballast "wings" clipped. Too bad they don't over standard straight and curve sections sans the additional rails and em uncoupler. I did notice there is a chunk of elevated line with Gargraves that runs a bumper trolly. Looks pretty good. Impressive layout.
