[quote user="Been Nothing Since Frisco (BNSF)"]Ok, first off: your list off buildings that you made. I planned on adding some of them. Next I've been wondering how to store all my cars and locos that I'm not operating. I've been thinking of using the news paper and plaster cloth method to build my hills. [/quote] Here's some help with the spelling and grammer... I used newspaper and plaster cloth on my mountains, and it worked well. Just be sure to cover the floor and wear old clothes, as plaster drips everywhere!To store equipment I'm not using, I have an old chest of drawers that I added felt to the drawer bottoms. The equipment goes on it's side so it won't tip over when you open the drawers. I can store plenty of equipment in these. If you don't have space or can't find the needed materials, you could use an old bookcase (a small one works great underneath the layout) and place the equipment upright parallel to the front edge so if it rolls, it will hit the end walls rather than the floor. I used a short (about 3 feet tall) bookcase on a previous layout to store rolling stock on.
