Like many others, Jeff Andrew put a bar in his man cave. Unlike many others, he put an N scale layout inside the bar. More photos and an interview with Jeff on my blog.

That sure is a lot more creative than the typical trains around the room, just below ceiling height, like you see in a lot of bars.

Now if the bar in my basement loooked like that, i wouldn't be about to tear it out to make more room for a layout, I'd find some way to work around it.

Hmmm, it might be dangerous consuming things that can make the room spin while watching litle trains go round and round!

Is this the thread about live loads, or the one about the 3-compartment tank car? Please stop the latter in front of me with tequila, cointreau and lime juice. A gondala behind that with ice is preferred.

A lot of eateries out there feature O or HO-scale trains set up to deliver the food out to the customers.

Need to increase the scale though, you wouldn't even get 1 shot out of an N scale tank car.
Best find someone else to operate the train though, remember rule G and all.
Years ago, when I lived in Dayton, Ohio, there was a bar in a section of town called the Oregon District, called The Oregon Express. It not only had trains just below the ceiling all the way around the room (O scale), but the bar had a glass top with an HO scale "layout", fully scenicked, inside. That was back in the 70's and 80's. I don't know if that place still exists today, but it was cool to see it.

I hope the bar top is watertight! One spilled beer could reek havock!

Seems to me that if you are going to have a Railroad in a Bar, then it has to be Bangor & Aroostook (BAR) rolling stock. Just sayin ...
