[AT] Old trains

[Dean Vinson]

Charlie, you're right about that.  I'm struggling to figure out what to do
with all these things I just bought.  The high shelves are what I'd like to
do, but am generally planning to move out of this house in three to five
years or so (hopefully to a place in the country!) and don't really want to
spend time building stuff I'm just going to have to take down.  Certainly
plenty of other home-improvement projects I ought to be doing instead...

Ernie, good luck with your O27 set... that's great that you've still got it!

I never got really interested in model trains but I can see the attraction. 
The problem is where to put them so you can enjoy them without taking up 
half the house or shop.  One thing I've seen is to put shelves around the 
top of a room (all 4 walls) and run the track up above the doors and windows

where it can stay without being in the way and can be run at any time.  That

doesn't give much room for rail yard layouts and the like but it's a way to 
enjoy the trains.
