It's a heck of a lot of fun to put together and enjoy. I haven't had the chance to set mine up since I moved over two years ago.

Get it away from the window. The bridge is especially brown to yellowing. I love the Flagg. Endless play value. However, like Sledge, mine's sitting in a few totes waiting to be re-commissioned.

When you got it put together, were you surprised at how big it really is??? I knew that it was 7 feet long but didnt realize how wide or tall it is! Love mine and am in the process of finding all the little bits and bites....even found a guy who has the fantail railing!

Congrats too you and I know you will enjoy it!

Nope. Once it's yellowed, it's yellowed. It's a chemical reaction caused by the continuous heat of the sunlight hitting the plastic; the very molecular structure of it is changed.

Cool on one level, maddening on another.

People have had success using H2O2 and sunlight to remove yellowing.

Google "Retro Bright"

Wow sounds like it might work. Maybe I'll do a small piece and see what happens!
