That's a good idea Mike - Thanks! There's actually a low levee back by the river, so that could logically be modeled as one side edge of the staging plank. There are old concrete foundations and retaining walls left over from previous industrial activity, and it's all overgrown with swampy vegetation. For whatever reason, there seems to be some sort of unwritten law in Memphis that after a structure has outlived its usefulness, it's not removed, but just left to rot. The number of derelict structures is notable. I'm likely to hinge the staging plank at the wall end so it just folds up against the wall behind the door when not in use. A dirt simple layout like this won't require too many cars, so rolling them off the staging plank will be low effort, my fave.
I installed the double-slot shelving brackets. Gonna use 1x4's for the framing. It's way overkill, but I already have the wood, and don't anticipate needing the layout to be super portable.
There is a very small and very run-down and very scary trailer park near the intersection of Chelsea and Watkins. Lawson's Trailer Park. I wonder if it's a time share? Many thanks to Ed and Reinhard for the excellent satellite views. In 2004 for about six months I had a contract job in the engineering department of a company located at Distribution Drive and Mendenhall Avenue. The office I worked in was on the second floor and had a west-facing window that gave an excellent view of the Frisco yard hump lead.
