Several years ago, I posted some comments to this blog about how I manage the flow and storage of the rolling stock on my layout (you can read it at this link: http://modelingthesp.blogspot.com/2011/12/operations-car-flow-and-car-storage.html ). I have a fair number of freight cars beyond what is needed to operate the layout, partly to create variety in operations, but certainly not least because I am a freight car enthusiast. I have always enjoyed researching and building new freight cars, and the result is a car fleet rather distinctly too large for the layout, even with extensive staging capacity.
I have been thinking about how to manage this fleet more efficiently, and I have come up with a few ideas. One is to use a modular layout, which would allow me to build additional trackage and storage capacity as needed. This would also allow me to build additional trackage and storage capacity for the freight cars, without having to take up space on the main layout. Another idea is to use a car storage system that is designed specifically for model railroads, such as
the one made by Walthers. This would allow me to store my freight cars in a more organized and efficient manner, and would also allow me to easily access them when needed. Finally, I have been considering using a modular layout that is designed specifically for model railroads, such as the one made by Walthers. This would allow me to build additional trackage and storage capacity for the freight cars, without having to take up space on the main layout.
