Where did you get the sets of drawers?

I have a small chest of drawers under the layout at one end that I use for storage. Was not planned as such but it just happened to fit there and so it stayed.
Small file cabinets for me for a bit.
I remember bedroom dressers being used.
There is an HO store in In, Ill, or Mo that has almost everything in drawers.
I have a floor to ceiling set of shelves W/ end caps from an old pharmacy that were cut in half, to yield two small shelves for under the layout.
They slide in and out, on their own wheels for access. And are guided by a peg and C-channel mounted on the underside of the layout.
Similar chests with sliding drawers, but much larger and industrial in nature, are used for back room storage at "big store" clothing depts.
A salvaged/used store equipment business is likely a good place to start.
Ask some store managers. This type of stuff is really just a pain to them if it isn't being used anymore.
Free "disposal" is often welcome.
