Hey everyone, im starting a new project!
Basement storage shelves for my trains…and then! a method to run complete trains from the basement storage, out to the Garden Railroad! without lifting up and carrying locos and cars one at a time up the stairs and out to the yard. This build log will cover both parts of the project.
First up, the wall in the basement…
Photos before beginning and before moving things out of the way:
The window in the upper-left corner is a key component of this project!
this is going to be fun…
Everything cleaned up and moved out of the way:
And the wall freshly painted…
My wife and I have been in our house 10 years now! and this is a project I have wanted to get to all those years…
Next step: shelf brackets will be installed. Im going to use 12-foot long shelves, and create grooves in the wood for the wheels, rather than use actual track. I’ll have questions about the best way to do that!
more to come…
thanks,
Scot
