KotangaGirl,
Very nicely done. Of course you put your train on the rug, before any thoughts of a layout table. Mine started out on the rug and usually ran around the base of the Christmas Tree, with fallen pine needles needing to be cleaned off before running. I spent lots of time running those trains under the Christmas tree, and getting cautioned by my parents to stop accidentally knocking off the ornaments on the lower branches with my head. Occasionally the cat joined in to "help" me play with the trains. Your Rugton looks classical.
Then I convinced my parents to let me have the ping pong table for my Christmas layout, and the rug setup was a thing of the past. But, the cat really liked getting on the table and wreaking havoc with my town, smacking the little trees around, and then flopping down on the track to stop the trains and thereby garner the attention he was seeking.
Thanks for posting. It brought back such cool memories.
