That's what I thought you were talking about. I've thought about doing something like this, never really tried it. Two things about it bugged me: 1. Keeping the layout stable while you were using it - you'd need fold-down legs or something, just can't let it swing in the wind. 2. Keeping it level when up or while going up and down. If you don't you would have to remove all your rolling stock before raising it and replace the rolling stock after lowering it, which sounds like a real pain, or run the risk of a lot of stuff ending up on the floor. I think what finally soured me to the idea was that my garage would be a terrible environment. It's unheated, so the temperature extremes here in IA would be a problem, not just due to the effect on the equipment but on me! (I know SoCal's different.) Also the amount of dust, grime and general yuck that would end up on it all the time. bill
