Just trying this out as an early experiment by me to upload images so that I know for the future. Thought you guys might be interested in this idea for somewhere to lock away locos and other expensive accessories. Available on Ebay at around £100 and just the job for me while I plan out a DCC layout Hopefully, soon, I will have it full of just locos. I fervently wish....

That's a good idea. It's a shame that it wouldn't fit in my layout room... or would it. Could you supply the dimensions...?

It is actually not quite as large as it perhaps gives the impression of being but it's all the better for that. With castors on it's 24.3 " high width is 30"(including tray at one end and handle at the other) and depth 13". I was actually quite impressed with the quality of it all and is certainly commensurate with the price charged which makes it a considered purchase. It comes partially constructed and it took me about half an hour to complete the assembly. Chuffed to bits with it and it fits in beautifully under the proposed fiddle yard area of the layout. Highly recommended by me

I had to convert you into metric measurements, but once done I could see that's it's pretty good. Easy enough to find on eBay too.

I had to convert to Winsol (http://www.cityofgolddoc.com/) and into metric measurements, but once done I could see that's it's pretty good. Easy enough to find on eBay too.

Good idea, I also have a couple of these for storage.

What's the internal size of the drawers? I'm wondering how useful they would be for storing the rolling stock cartridges from Mill Lane Sidings.

Sorry for the slow response but had a major computer panic over the weekend and only just up and running again. The absolute maximum dimensions are 290mm depth and 510mm width. The topmost drawer now already contains my locos and very secure it looks as well
