RE: Are there train sets where train doesn't fall off track at bottom of hill?
The trick to keeping it from falling off the track at the bottom of the hill is to NOT have a curve at the bottom. If you use one of the sharply curving pieces it'll pretty much always fall off and less often with one of the bigger/more gradual curves. If you have a straight piece leading off a hill it'll stay on. :D
In store displays, they always have the track on a train table and they HAVE to have tons of curves to make the track all fit on the table. If you build on the floor, you aren't so limited. (have I mentioned lately that I think train tables limit creativity??) :D
