Because of the limitations of my layout room I have a lot of track running 
close to the table edge on the peninsula in the middle, much of it also 
elevated above the table itself. My 6 yearold grandson loves to run my trains 
but occasionally he gets a little "throttle happy". He's really not bad but I 
hate to think of my stuff falling all those scale feet to the floor below or 
even down to the level of the table. What I need is some suggestions for some 
type of restraining fence or barrier that will not block one's view of the 
train, be simple to erect, and will be reasonable in price. The track is hand 
laid on Homabed on 5/8 plywood subroadbed and is ballasted. Beyond that the 
area has no scenery as yet. I know I could run a batten along the edge a 1/4" 
or 3/8" high but would rather not since then we couldn't see the running gear 
on steam locomotives, etc. and it wouldn't look very prototypical. A friend 
suggested ripping clear plastic sheet and using that but I have seen that done 
on show layouts and don't care for the appearance. 

Any suggestion? 

Happy New Year to All. Chuck Porter
