Storage problems with LGB this guy has it solved. Could you get away with it????????????

Gordon Shumway Video Productions? Explains why there were no cats. He isn't much on scenery, either.

Thanks for posting but tell me thats not all there is to his railway. tell me there is a super detailed alpine mega layout in the next room and hes designer couldnt work out a more efficent storage solution.
as Frank once sang "who wants to be a millionaire".............." I DONT "

Lucy in the Sky with.......G Scale trains. How does he know what's happening on the top levels?
 
According to the comments it's a dcc system (Massoth) with accessory decoders and feedback modules etc. controlled by computer.

I too want to see the layout it's attached to!
 
I to would like to see the layout. Or is this it !
 
Wow....
 
Well that was , how shall I put it? Boring!:-
 
WOW a multi story train park , couldn't wait that long to get my train out :yawn:
 
OH DRAT,​
​

Rather interesting. There must be one super layout at the end of these storage lines. However by the time youve got half a dozen trains out and packed them away again the day would be over............:bigsmile:
 
i appreciate what hes done -technically its most impressive and a lot of work-
but as mentioned
uninspiring
but i understand there are many types of triain folks-techno operators, rivet counters, guys that simply love rolling stock and collect it, gardeners, etc
who wants to play trains in a silo, most of which are not at eye level or thereabouts

imagine that any major derailments are rather costly too-unless the floor is well passed
 
If you look at his other video, you can see it go all the way back up again. Where's the fun in that? Not my idea of a garden (or indoor) railway.
 
If all he has is whats shown i find it rather pointless but the fasinating thing about G scale is the diversity of ideas we all seem to have
Im sure im not alone in wondering why someone seems happy with something i dont agree with and it would be great sometimes for people to explain in words what they are attempting to build as well as just image's

For me when i finally decide on a track plan im happy with i want to have built a detailed model village with a fictious railway running though it not worrying about product make or weather its from one country or another or even to a time table although everthing must have a reason for being there

Did anyone notice a door? How does he get in and out himself - unless he lives in there of course......

With my DCC/computer interests I certainly am interested in what's been put together there. I did find watching 9 minutes of the same thing rather unnecessary though.

I'm at work so cannot watch the vid again, but the video title mentions "Schattenbahnhof" (lit. "shadow station") doesn't it? My German friends and the magazines I read all use that term for a fiddle yard, which to me implies it's built with the intention of feeding a "real" layout?

I suppose if that's all there is to the system, at least it give a means of excercising various trains from a collection in sequence rather than them simply sitting on shelves.
 
Looking at his you tube channel there does not seem to be any outside, or if there is he hasn't filmed it. just more trains up & down the shelving.
A deeply uninteresting video.
Cheers Garry
 
Better make sure your points are lined properly or risk a rather heavy train derailing onto your head.

So the layout consists of a large spiral helix , and lot of stacked track hidden in shadows, OK.. .not my cup of tea but then it takes all kinds now doesnt it.
