Plans for making HO storage cabinets

[shaygetz]

that's cool! My current layout is only about 5.5' long by 3' wide. It's
my main focus right now due to space limitations. I also have a 4x6 layout on storage and a small shelf switching layout. Do you have other layouts as well?

I do...I didn't think about it, but it fits with the storage topic of your thread. I built a cabinet for my N scale layout that doubles as a platform for my small HO layout, storage for more cars and my library...there's even a small "attic" inside for storing unbuilt kits and my toolboxes. The HO layout consists of 4 independent loops of track, each with its own power pack and includes a loop of Marklin three rail 30v AC. It's brought down to sit under the tree at Christmas every year.













I had since added the fourth loop after this picture was taken. That loop comes from my first Christmas layout. When I built the new one, I didn't have the heart to throw out the old one, so I cut the loop out of the plywood cookie cutter style, elevated it and put it on the new layout. The concrete arch bridge is quite solid, I cut it from some MDO board and use it as a carrying handle.
