House Gameroom Pinball Mame Train Bubble Hockey

G-Scale train Project Page Installation Before continuing past the rock and creating anything on it. We needed to figure out the incline for the train track so that it can get to the next level of the room. The rise distance was abotu 14 inches and based on many tests we found that .5 inches rise per foot was adequate, I ended up needing 28 feet to get the rise I needed. I was initially planning to only incline along half of the back wall of the game room, however that was only 13 feet worth and would never work. So in order to make the rise, I now had to start going up before we left the top of the rock structure. Elevate on our way to the closet in the corner and then elevate the rest of the way up the wall. This was all fine, until I measured the roof of the closet. Well lets just say the roof of the closet was about 1.5 inches too low. So I had to rebuild the closet roof and elevate it more so the train can go through nicely. Below is a snapshot of the closet with the holes in it. Once this incine was created, I then proceeded to stage the next piece. The 13 ft incline that would take the train up the rest of the way. This took quite a bit of time not to mention lots of destruction. I cut many holes and even though measurements were good, the end result for making the split track piece turned out to be a lot of trial and error. (just like installing windo/baseboard/crown molding trim). I first put all the track up, marked all the places and then took it all down and cut the holes. I then boarded, taped and mudded all the holes. In the end, I am quite pleased wiht the look. The photos below show the progression of building the incline. Test installation and make sure the teh trian will fit in here :) Test the angle from the split inthe back wall to the front wall. I originally planed to do an s curve through the hole, but didn't like teh way it looked so instead I made a diagonal hole :) Plaster Plaster and paint!
