Storage tracks under layouts

He is mine, not pretty but it does what it does, holds my locomotives.

Not storage tracks, storage display which I just completed as my winter project. Another to be built when the weather breaks..lol

Are your storage tracks going to be connected to the main layout so you don’t have to handle your trains?  Or are you going to move them by hand to the main layout?

Hope to connect to live tracks on layout.

I don't want to be a bucket of cold water, but you might want to rethink the idea of under layout storage.  I tried it.  It seemed like a good idea, but it wasn't very practical.

This was something I gave a lot of thought  to when planning my new layout as I wanted to have many trains set up and ready to go.

Here is the track plan for the lower level staging yards. The light blue tracks lead to the main level. They also serve as one half of the double reverse.
