Train Storage Idea

I just came upon this on Youtube. I think the guy did an excellent job on it.

The concept is good - I like the use of the screw jack principle - the only adverse comment I have (nit-picking, pedantic person that I am) is the cross levels on the shelves could do with a tweak!

But, seriously, it's a good idea.

I find my storage shelves with stackable (ex-supermarket) veg boxes are becoming a PITA, as the combined weight of two locos in a box is now getting more difficult for me to lift. I had planned something similar myself but with the lifting section acting as a traverser to serve four or five tracks per shelf.

Hmm the "owner" appears to have disabled acces on other sites.

Looked at it direct on Youtube. Nice idea but I almost lost the will to live by the end of the video.
Those horrendous rail joints need a lot of TLC.

This concept has been around for a considerable number of Years now. I well remember seeing it in (or should I say the concept) some of Ian Rice's Track Plans. Looks like the perfect solution for A mans Railway that I visited earlier this Year.
