Hi, got my son a Hornby 'Blue Highlander' starter set for his birthday. It comes with the standard 1800x1200 Trackmat. Space is limited in our house so I need to construct a table which will fold down from the wall. He will just have to remove the large items from the scenery when it's put away, but the track would be fixed. I'm looking for any tips or words of wisdom on constructing such a table. At a first guess I'll need a sheet of MDF or something similar. It would need to be strong and light so it's easily lifted. The hinge would need to be a few centimetres away from the wall to allow the thickness of the trackmat and track plus some basic shrubbery unless I can find some hinges which push the table out as it is moved towards its closed state. There would need to be a reliable method of locking the table upright so there was no chance of it coming loose and falling down.
regards,
Kristian.
