I got all my locos and rolling stock into one drawer

I just thought I'd share this satisfying photo I took after I rearranged some things and got all my loco and rolling stock into one drawer. Before this they were just sort of floating around in my room.

Where will you put future purchases

I could do that but the drawer would have to be enormous!

[Bealman]

Mine is in 5 drawers

My layout is in the loft and it is a tad dusty up there.  Do you put the models away after a running session?

My layout isn't complete yet, so I don't run it that often, so my trains usually only run on Thursdays at my club. Therefore; it's better to keep them stored in thier boxes safe and sound for the most part.

Give it a few more years and you will have a couple of these for storage on wheels so you can actually move them, all of which, in my case, fit under the layout and can have a curtain pulled over them...  it's the only way I could get access to having a layout in the living room from the better half who insisted that the total size of the layout included the storage, which is one of the reasons the layout is quite high off the ground

I have 2 of these.. one for stock,  one for scenic items and projects underway.  Each project fits in a drawer and can be lifted out to work on and then replaced when working time is over.

Youd need to wear a much bigger Tutu to cover them drawers

Before you ask, no we don't want to see your drawers!

[Trainfish]

If you look carefully you can probably see them in some of my pictures

Where did you get the drawer unit from ?
Looks really neat.

I got them from Model Railway Solutions.  At the time, he was thinking about adding them as a standard thing, but I don't see them on their catalogue.

I have seen similar on white rose modelworks, but I would check to see if you can get wheels added.. they do get heavy when fully loaded

Fitting one's stock into a single drawer should not be an achievement. It should be seen as a woeful embarrassment, necessitating an immediate trawl of eBay.

Re the wheels, you can get some nice castor wheels from Screwfix for £2.99 each and fit yourself. I have put the 6 of the same on my layout, it. Is really easy to move it to get to things on the wall side now. Might need to attach some wood work on the bottom to screw them to, but not to difficult.
Might even get some drawers here too now, got plenty to fill them with.
