Began rearranging as to what sits on what shelf in my train room. Decided on a totally radical swapping of shelf spaces/re- locations of my locomotives and special rolling stock such as my beer car and caboose collection.
Up until today my entire caboose and beer car collection ( plus other rolling stock ) was displayed in a closet with sliding doors. This closet parallels my layout and also houses my work bench. Above the workbench are several shelves for the cars ( which are moved to where the locos once were ) and now the locomotives. When this move is finally completed, and the sliding doors are slid open viewers will see my work bench and locomotive collection.... where my caboose and beer car collection once occupied shelf space. The beer cars and cabeese now sit out in the open, in the train room, on wall shelving that once held the locomotives. This shelving was not actually long enough or deep enough to display my entire locomotive collection, which is now growing again.
Once completed this new arrangement will make better use of my spaces and make for improved viewing of my collection for visitors ( such as being able to place my 2 scale GG1s and my semi scale GG1 all in a row plus my Pennsy MU cars on the same shelf). I've staircased some tracks on each shelf of the open wall shelving ( 3 to 4 tracks deep per shelf ) making viewing of special cars such as MOW, snow removal equipment, etc much more visible and appealing to the eye.
My train room tends to get cluttered so I thought exploring new fung shway ( sp?) will be a good thing.
While doing this I also had trains running. There is still work to be done, however I'm motivated to reach this completion this week. Good times working on the railroad!!!!
(or at the absolutely farthest points away from you.) Yup. That is our lot for daring to still play. Oh well. So what.
Oi-vey!
