This is a great idea for the old and infirm who cant manage the stairs and have stair lifts installed. They could buy track extensions so they could go down the shops and on holidays. Could also be linked to the local train network. (Click the link below to see my idea pictorially)-- DaveSt, Aug 24 2001 (??) Stairlift track extensions http://www.davex.bt...uk/spoof/offer8.htm [DaveSt, Aug 24 2001, last modified Oct 21 2004] Nice one, DaveSt.-- iuvare, Aug 24 2001 I particularly like the photo showing the chair liked to the train network. Flaky croissant indeed.-- thumbwax, Aug 25 2001 Umm. In the last picture, either the train is very small, or the elderly/infirm person is very large. It made me chuckle so you should get a croissant.-- sdm, Aug 25 2001 that link should come with a health warning-- po, Nov 06 2001 The link doesnt work anymore. Can anything be done?-- pashute, Jul 14 2006 random, halfbakery
