I have a lot of plastruct I beam and L shape laying around. Also some foamboard. Most of the I beam is about 1/2 inch and was trying to get some ideas of what to do with it. Like some kind of open building or track side accessory. I would like to see what everyone else has built or done with these or any plastruct build. Thanks.

This used plastruct I beams and girders. I salvaged the overhead crane from an MTH car shop.

I thought a lot of people would post what they have built on here
I make my own custom shapes with my table router

I might have, but I very rarely use plastic shapes in my projects.....
I used two Plastruct 1/4inch H-beams as tracks for a Lionel Gantry Crane that I mechanized to move back and forth. See photo.
