As someone who also loves nerding out making displays, I give you extreme points on the creativity making this one. The track section makes it. Its awesome
 
The rat is a great display. Even the cheese is revealing! I like the early time pencils. Nice train derailment display. I have one very similar as part of a British special forces table display I did at a big military vehicle show here in California. Mine separates the two types of switches. Fog signal going to two charges on one side, No. 5 switch method with two charges on the back of the other rail. People can walk around to see that. The four charges are all different: bundle of 808 cartridges, TNT block, bundle of Gelignite, and a wrapped, made-up charge. I put little signs saying the distances apart these things were supposed to be. Kind of busy, but educational. I'll bring it all out again in two weeks at a show we call Camp Plymouth. And my SAS desert jeep. All inert "explosives" of course!

It is one thing to show photos but putting items in front of people makes it much more interesting and educational.

Well done!
 
the rat didnt suffer but my wallet did!rat came all the way from UK, as easily the best one i found,all the others were novelty type and looked silly
