We don't mean to run out of space. Most of us modelers don't have a goal of having too little room. It is just that the hobby is getting so good, so satisfying, and so exciting that the equipment just tends to accumulate.
But, in the end, that means we run out of space. For years I was avoiding this little project, and finally made it happen over the Christmas break this year. The old dresser, which had been my brother's when we were growing up in Long Valley, NJ, was pressed into a second life as locomotive storage years ago. It was good til it filled up. Now, by adding a slideable shelf as a second level, I have added capacity for another 16 locomotives.
Railings front and rear were installed and a piece of plywood then cut to fit neatly over the rails. It was about two hours work, but solved a problem for some time to come!
That is, until I dig into a few more new locomotives and get them in service. When that happens.....I will be out of space, again.
Good one Dave. Love the ingenuity, and reuse of old furniture.
