My idea for a train elevator was to layout a yard likeTony Koester has as one of his staging yards. It is a semicrcle of curved track at equal intervals of spacing. Mine would be laid out on 2 1/4' spacing from center to ocenter in HO to clear long equipment and engines. I'm thinking of using a platform lift with a hydraulic foot pump to raise it. It is made like a two-wheeled dolly, but has small casters on the front Or maybe using a small scissors lift. I have one that is used on bikes and ATV"s I got at Wal-Mart for $99.95. I have a few modules that connect to my train room to extend my mainline. These are on casters and i'm going to make this unit movable on casters similar to them.
