Go to a hobby shop (not Hobby Lobby, but an actual hobby shop) and get the stuff for making water for model rail-roads. That should do it.

Not sure on the other stuff.

ok thanks

at a lot of hobby shops, they sell plastic tubing in all sorts of diameters. you can use that for track and supports. for th cars, you can buy sheets of plastic or lexan at once again most real hobby shops. the problem is with having the patience to replicate one of the cars......

thanks

your right

An easy route to the track would be to use pneumatic tubing. Its flexible, holds up, and you can get it in various colors. The cross members of the track could be as simple as a piece of paper cut and bent the right way and just tacked out with a quick spritz of spray adhesive. For the supports you could use a wooden dowel rod. It could be cut, painted, and [with the proper thickness] would hold up everything else rather nicely with no bend. Station could be made out of lexan, more dowel rod, and small pieces of plywood.

As for the landscaping I have no idea.

You could use a coaster dynamix set for the coaster part and you would only have to repaint the track and re-configure the train. For the landscaping go to your local hobby shop. For the CD kits go to coasterdynamix.com

thanks FluffyliketheForce i dont know what im going to do for the landscape maybe go to a hobby store 3 blocks from my house and buy the landscape for the train models.maybe.dont no.

THANKS!!!!!

cool idea
