My current room is the garage that we cannot use for cars. It was built in 1922. However, we are building a new house this year. I have been taking notes over the past 3 years and have come to the conclusion that when the wife says "the basement can be used for your trains" what she doesn't add is "at least a portion of the basement can be used for your trains... we might need a spare room or a toy room or storage..."

So, when we talked with the builder, I asked for a basement in the detached garage. He was most gracious and didn't smirk too badly. As of last Thursday, the basement of the garage is 26 x 36. We need to get thru a few more meetings to get it all worked out, but that's a size I can live with.

I was thinking of using the stairs as the Walk In portion, so the tracks could run along all 4 walls. But its not set quite yet. I tossed the idea of a toilet and sink out there for cost, but included a sink w/cold water in the garage. Gotta have some place to mix hydrocal.
