Thank you all for the tips!

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a double stall engine shed that would accommodate engines using EZ Track? Preferably pre-built and run-through? (No wall at either end)

I'm currently in a small apartment and don't have much space other than a desk to do a set-up a small train yard for the time being and wanted to give it a little more life than a few roads of straight tracks. 

Hello all, it's been a while since I've posted here.

I have a question regarding storage of models. In a few days I am moving out of state for graduate school and will be away from my models and layout at least until Thanksgiving.

Does anyone have any recommendations for properly storing models for long periods of time as well what to do with the layout? (Upkeep, perhaps cover with tarp?, etc).

Thank you very much and thank you Chaz for starting a new thread!

That's a very nice shed! I wish I had the skills to create something like that. I do agree I think the storage shed will be worth getting.

Just to clarify an ERTL Trevor will fit with the exception of the funnel and not George? Sorry for all the questions!

Sorry for the late reply. Anyways, yes. George will not fit. However, the ERTL Trevor will fit as long as you place the storage shed on top of cork roadbed. The flywheel is more of the issue than the funnel since I would not place the ERTL Trevor into the shed that far due to its length.

Thank you very much for your help! Received mine today and it looks great!

Terence, you without a doubt have the BEST layout I've ever seen!

One more question regarding the storage shed, would it be large enough enough to store an ERTL model of Trevor or George in?

Thank you very much! Regarding the storage shed, the ERTL George does not fit. However, there is room for the ERTL Trevor in the stone area of the storage shed (with the exception of the funnel). However, the storage shed must be placed on top of cork roadbed or cardboard since the ERTL model barely fits (due to the flywheel). Either way, I would still recommend that you purchase it. You will not be disappointed with the quality one bit.

Thank you very much for your help!

A bit of an off topic question but who here has the resin storage shed on their layout? I am considering acquiring it for a farm area I'm planning to build up on my layout.

I own it. It is a very detailed model and would look great on any layout, especially in a farm scene. The only thing that I am still trying to figure out is if was seen at all in the television series.

Thank you very much! Would you be willing to post a picture of yours on your layout?

Amazing! You have resource and sagacity 

Trevor would be nice to have this year

Well done!! Can we see a comparison with an HO model or Bachmann Skarloey?

First video I have seen of Skarloey running and he does look great!

Perhaps try looking up local model shops in or near Orlando. From my experience, I have never found Bachmann trains in big retailers like the ones you have mentioned.  Good luck!

They look great!
