I don’t know if this has been announced here on LUGNET, but NELUG, http://www.nelug.org/ recently purchased a new trailer to store and transport our LEGO collection and train tables. Although the details of making this happen were a bit complicated, the end result can be seen here on BrickShelf.

We are still working out the best way to store everything so that it will not be destroyed when we actually move the trailer. I would guesstimate that a whopping 60-80% of the club-owned brick is currently built into models. (That number could drop to about 20% after a single road trip!) We’re not quite at the hitch-n-go stage yet, but we should be by the time of our next train show, which is in about three weeks.

If you compare the picture “16packed.jpg” to “25loaded.jpg”, you can see how much better the same amount of LEGO fits into the trailer after we installed the shelving.

(...) One suggestion: Get more straps to prevent stuff from sliding sideways off the shelving units! Looking at '25loaded.jpg', I see a box sitting on top of the tables on the left side, and several modules just sitting on the shelves on the right. (...)

Now are you going to get your logo put on the side of the trailer? That would be great promotional piece. Bryan "Chris Phillips" <drvegetable@attbi.com> wrote in message news:HnFvMu.Czo@lugnet.com...
