Model Railway Storage Solution

[@CymruJedi]

Thank you so much for putting this together. I was curious about your storage unit you were using in your previous video, I’m very happy to have a whole video dedicated to this! Many thanks mate

[@OONeal]

I’m glad you liked it, I wondered if people would be interested as it’s something that’s been on my mind for some time

[@PaulSmith-pl7fo]

Hi Tris. Nice video. Take a candle to the "runners" of the wooden drawers and they will run that little bit more smoothly.

[@OONeal]

Thank you, I’ll try it out

What a great collection, great to see it all organized like that, My whole collection would fit in 2 drawers. Once my layout is finished I need to go on a used rolling stock spending spree.

[@OONeal]

I am sure you will build up your collection but its not all about how many things you have if you enjoy what you have.

[@ModelTrainOutsider]

Storage and organization ar ealmost as important as track laying and electrical in the model train world! Cool video, Tris!

[@OONeal]

Hello Anthony, I’m glad you agree. I think when things are organised it makes you want to use it more. I hope your well and taking care of yourself

[@paulisnotonfire]

I've got pretty much the same set up for most of my rolling stock. Though keep mine all upright (mine are very full), so I should get some non slip mats to stop them rolling about. I do like that you've sorted them into draws of similar things, nice and tidy. Cheers

Great update Tris, best way to store them - now nice and safe

[@OONeal]

Thank you Jade

[@simaesthesia]

What's in a name? A rose by any other name would smell as sweet! Enjoyed the video as usual mate.

[@OONeal]

I’m glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@philblyth3218]

I’ve got a similar set up for storage and glued some polystyrene blocks to the inside of the drawer ends to help prevent damage to couplings and buffers if the stock slides around

[@NicholassTrainChannel]

Nice video Tris. Great storage idea. That will be good if you dont have a big fiddle yard. Thanks for sharing. - Nicholas.

[@OONeal]

I agree it opens up my options so I can find things quickly

[@shedhead00]

Thats exactly what I have done for storage, mine came from B+Q £29 set of 8 drawers but I had to take off top layer to fit under layout, just restacked the spares .

[@OONeal]

That’s excellent I’m hoping there are some offers that come up as I’ll get some more.

[@joshuaW5621]

This will be essential once I get my own place.

[@medwaypeninsulaMR]

Hi Tris I’m glad to see your under layout area is as untidy as mine 😂 I like that storage system I have similar ones and will be getting some of the non slip matting after seeing your previous video. Cheers Kev

[@OONeal]

Thank you Kev, I’m glad you like it. I need some non slip for the wagons as the tissue slides a bit

[@worthingtonmodelrailway8628]

Fun video, I have used similar drawers for years, the older ones worked better as they were a better size, I've noticed the last couple I bought are shorter and so won't take longer coaches, particularly when still boxed. Have you thought about changing the runners on the wooden drawers you can buy draw runners at any good DIY shop (or from Amazon).

[@OONeal]

I could fix the draws but its not the right thing for the loft I feel. I think ill give it to charity. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

[@IronHorseRailways]

Big up the plastic box gang! Same solutions for storage here except in not as posh as you, mine are just gray plastic with black frames and no fancy paper inside!😁😂

[@OONeal]

Ha ha yes I think they are the way to go 😊

[@LindseyTate13]

Great Video As Always Tris!

[@OONeal]

Thank you 😊

[@tomslade3365]

With your draws or trucks ,locos etc you can make card dividors that slott in I would also put some silicon get mosture absobing bags in each draw this keeps damp out of the stock , just my experance and tips

[@kevinmottram9491]

That's a really good storage 'facility' you have there now Tris. Keeps everything nice and safe and easily within reach too. Will we be getting to see your Dad's, and brother's, layouts again soon?

[@OONeal]

Thanks Kevin, I’m the future I hope so. I always enjoy seeing there layouts.

[@calmandclumsy]

Not so messy at the end 😁👌

[@OONeal]

That’s right, it’s nice seeing it this way

[@colinwykes1833]

Hi Tris, a question were all your locomotives and rolling stock in boxes before you placed them into your new storage racks? If so what have you done with the boxes? Take care and stay safe 😊😊😊😊

[@OONeal]

I have some large boxes which they are stored in the corners of the loft. They take up a lot of room. Thank you for watching and supporting as always

[@RobA500]

Thought about getting some of those draw units myself though the tall ones like that won't fit under my layout.

[@OONeal]

I understand. There are some options on there website which may suit you.

[@richardsweeney197]

Thank you!

[@OONeal]

My pleasure

[@jamesdavey7014]

Where did you order the storage boxes from!

[@graymichael09]

Is that just kitchen roll in the bottom?

[@OONeal]

It is but I will swap it for some non slip sheet at some point.

[@johnjohn-wb6ud]

your lucky uk cars are smaller than most usa cars storage is always a must...(problem)

[@madduckuk]

You would think so, but a British Rail Mark 4 in OO should be just a touch longer than a Superliner in HO

[@johnjohn-wb6ud]

@@madduckuk yes modern cars are anything before barcodes is what i model the good ole days

[@OONeal]

I’m glad they are not too long but I guess I’d have to get the bigger draws
