[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by cuyama</i> <br /><br />Whatever you plan, you might try to have some section that does not fold vertically ... such as a shelf along on edge. If you place some yard tracks on this surface (visible yard or staging) you'll be able to store most or all trains on the track. This will allow you to have a lot less set-up and tear-down time. <br /> <br />A lot will depend on the kinds of hallways and doorways you must negotiate between the operating location and storage location. Stackable (non-hinged) sections set up on a folding table might be a great solution if you can't roll a large set-up easily between locations. <br /> <br />Regards, <br /> <br />Byron <br />http://www.modelrail.us <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Thanks Byron. I do have some flexibility in terms of room and length. The other idea I have toyed with is building an extension that I could attach at one end to use as staging. I can easily roll the fold up version into the next room, but the idea of stacking the modules is appealing. The benefits of finally having a "spare" room. :-) Thanks for your suggestions!
