I use it for storage both railroad and non railroad. I also have a table under it for working on projects while sitting down.

Enjoy

Although my layout isn't built yet, I plan to use the space under my layout for lots of storage. I just need a small area set aside for the access hole. I don't want to be isolated from my trains!

Using the space UNDER the layout
Posted by jacon12 on Wednesday, October 10, 2007 9:25 AM

While building my first layout I've been eyeing all that empty space under my layout.  Well, it's not exactly empty at present, being cluttered up with all the stuff needed to build the layout.  But one day it's going to be a whole lot cleaner under there and I'm already thinking of ways to utilize it for storage of MRR related things.  I've thought about hitting the flea markets, maybe Goodwill stores etc., looking for old things like chest of drawers, low cabinets and the like that will fit under there with all kinds of drawers, both shallow and deep, that'll help keep things in order, nice and neat.

How do you use this space?  Got pictures?
