Episode 85 - The one about train storage

[@solutions2exist556]

Thanks Eric. I can now show my wife that I do not have more trains that everyone else. Eric “the Cover Man”. A real train hero.

[@weestrains]

My girlfriend has told me the same thing. I've just been waiting to show her his collection.

[@davidleopold4219]

Eric, at best I consider myself a very discerning KZbin channel subscriber. That said, Eric's Trains 23 "How to Videos" alone offer the Best Content related to each topic you have shared. Yes, better than any other discovered KZbin videos, or published text available online as well a local hobby shop book rack that may include a chapter paralleling your topics. Product reviews are outstanding as well, which have undoubtedly contributed to numerous purchases from many of us. Additionally, watching Trains traverse your artfully created Layout is a wonderful escape. Thank you!

[@Fridge56Vet]

Love the storage rack idea. Will definitely incorporate that into my future layout!

[@maccustoms2295]

That's slot of space cleared up. Can't wait to see the display case. Good idea have the cars on the ready under the layout also makes it look alot neater. Thanks for sharing have a great weekend.

[@greatsmokymtnsrailfan]

Eric: I built a new shelf! Eric ten seconds later: I've once again run out of space to store my locomotives! really though nice video

[@DavidRamirez-ww5kv]

Thanks for sharing Eric. I’ve always wondered, Where does he store all the boxes and all the cars. When you buy more items, it creates a double storage problem for the trains and boxes.

[@mrmrb04]

Running out of space for trains. What a great problem to have.

[@railfankimble1403]

Love it you should do a video with the 611 in a excursion with cars like on the excursion trains

[@nikhilj3355]

Yeah, I would agree, especially because he's got the Spirit of Roanoke 611. But I don't think he's got the excursion cars on Pages 10-11 in the 2019 catalog (at least that's what I'm guessing)

[@TriGogglin]

I would still put pallets in your storage unit. You never know what the people are storing next to you that could leak under your walls. Better safe than sorry later.

[@fulviosantangeletta5838]

Very nice video Eric super idea storage is basically just as important as anything having fun with trains... It is need to see some layouts where they actually have storage within the construct of the layout either in visible to the eye as well as where you can visibly see the trains in large volumes not moving it's a very good idea if possible but. It is kind of pushing away the inevitable for many collectors and operators... because eventually there's going to be more trains and their space lol

[@davidleopold4219]

--and naturally all the truly Fantastic display shelves, organized beneath Layout storage space, and the impressive off site storage unit is (database) catalogued along with enabled closed circuit camera monitors to expedite spur of the moment consists and verify slots for deliveries from the next catalog order...

[@surfercris1]

I like your storage ideas

[@doublenickelbob]

Buy a enclosed trailer , it's cheaper than a storage unit. Also sell me your premier MTH Amtrak aerotrain for more room.

[@Ericstrains]

enclosed trailer is too small, and would be more expensive and less protected.

[@doublenickelbob]

@@Ericstrains nah i bought a 32 foot trailer for 6 thousand, now figure out the a storage unit that size per month lets say $600 x12mths/ yr. x years = alot cheaper

[@garyruark9506]

Serious addiction! :)

[@arthursogaugelioneltrains5744]

The only difference between Men and Boys is the price of their TOYS.

[@nscalefun]

AWESOME!!! Keep up the good work.

[@SoCal_Jerry]

I’m dealing with my storage problems right now too. I’m not only a Lionel collector but also a vintage car collector and model car collector. Displaying my collections AND storing all those pesky boxes is a growing issue. I’m primarily storing everything under my layout and upstairs in my garage loft. Everything is stored in clear plastic bins or Banker Boxes.stacked sitting on Harbor Freight furniture dollies so I can easily move the stacks around to get access. And of course all bins and boxes are labeled with P-Touch labels. Coming along but a huge job.

[@ChristopherBrown-mq1lg]

Great video 👍 that is one huge collection!

[@d.cthehobbyist2252]

Very nice

[@dizguy89]

Literally the struggle of anyone in this hobby! Storage for the trains and their boxes 🤦🏽

[@lonewolf_railfan5771]

Just stop getting more trains, just kidding lol, but awesome video! Keep up the good work!😁

[@AbelG8781]

All my Atlas O is stored upstairs, which is all for sale now. Goodbye O scale 2 rail, hello N scale 😎

[@Nyislander313]

I need to put my 35 year long of collecting Lionell trains in storage temporarily while my fiancé and I are in a condo, we will then be buying a house within the next year and a half. It’s currently in my home that I’m selling. Ugghhh storage facility, here I come

[@arthursogaugelioneltrains5744]

Hurry up and get that railroad running.

[@RandiRain]

Lets give a round of applause for Eric's obviously very understanding wife. That's a lot of train stuff... Big O gauge train stuff.

[@Ericstrains]

There is no wife, lol.

[@davidliguori2418]

You've become the engine hoarder, LOL ....

[@DelcoImagery]

Holy crap that’s a ton of box’s

[@ahmedsalih4464]

Amazing video.. How big is this train please?

[@kevinmills8437]

Wow it's Huge.

[@angeloavanti2538]

so, Ripley's has been in touch...right?

[@bigjohnrailproductions8370]

I know I have been busy lately. I do say that's a lot of storages.

[@davidstrainsandlego]

Nice video

[@alexlife470]

Do the lionel norfolk and western class a #1218

[@Mr.BlitzSico]

Eric's trains please review the american flyer big boy or challenger you won't regret it please check it out

[@mjmonjure]

May I ask how much the 10x10 costs per month? I am also in Atlanta and will be shopping for a space here soon.

[@fulviosantangeletta5838]

Have you thought about getting the sunset 3rd rail E a's Baltimore Ohio A B That's Scott is offering as well as in Santa Fe E1 A and B unit set that pulled the 1938 version of the super chief which Scott has made it amazing set one of the best sets ever made probably in O scale for passenger scale cars I am very happy to say I am an owner of This incredible set

[@davidleopold4219]

incredible

[@miguelangelgarrido7233]

Hola buenas tarde excelente video abrazo grande

[@benjaminhunt2395]

I seem to get more cars then engine's lol

[@heidim6468]

I would not have a storage that the sides don’t go all the way to the top. Easy theft there. I know your insured but then you have to collect them all over again.

[@aaronb4936]

Man that sucks having a monthly payment just to store cardboard boxes...

[@Ericstrains]

It is what it is.

[@revealingfacts4all]

This looks more like a hoarding addiction than a hobby.

[@NaYawkr]

Do we really need the Hokey Banjo Music ?

[@Ericstrains]

yes, we actually do. It's required by law.

[@jameseagan4863]

@@Ericstrains i finally found where you got the music for your outro. At first, i thought it was maybe made by you, as i've the vid where you play the several instruments, but then i stumbled across where it originally came from. Good ol' F & S

[@rogerglasgo4902]

number one rule in having the worlds biggest train collection. #1 NO WIFE 😁

[@bigtonebreakdown7817]

LOL...😂

[@Ericstrains]

My collection isn't even close to the world's biggest. Not by a long shot. Thanks though!

[@rogerglasgo4902]

maybe in oguage?

[@thavvolf9157]

Have you thought about getting a house just for the trains? Jk

[@charlesmcclure5994]

I think you need a bigger house sir

[@goldenretriever6440]

So put simply YOU HAVE TOO MANY TRAINS

[@Ericstrains]

That's not possible
