I don't know if this has been announced here on LUGNET, but NELUG, (URL) 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 (...) (21 years ago, 27-Oct-03, to lugnet.storage, FTX)

(...) Chris, What is the size of the trailer? How many tables are you carrying in the trailer? From the pictures it doesn't look like you have all that many in there. With the tables on one side and the shelves on the other, have you noticed any (...) (21 years ago, 28-Oct-03, to lugnet.storage, FTX)

(...) 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. (...)

(...) One very brave and implicitly trusted founding member of the group registered and insured the trailer in his name. We could have done this to the group, but it would have been a lot more complicated that way. The plan for storage is that the (...) (21 years ago, 28-Oct-03, to lugnet.storage, FTX)

(...) We have more straps, but we didn't have enough E-Track clips to tie them down to. We found out (two weeks too late!) that one of our members works at Cap World, so he's getting more clips. The big problem is all the models. We have several (...) (21 years ago, 28-Oct-03, to lugnet.storage, FTX)

(...) Boxes have the additional benefit of if pieces do fall off a model, they'll end up in the box (hopefully!). Makes it much easier to rebuild/repair the model if all the pieces are in one place. The GMLTC uses a bunch of Lego cardboard boxes (...) (21 years ago, 28-Oct-03, to lugnet.storage, FTX)

(...) I've got two words for you: expanding foam. Make sure you get low expandsion foam so that it doesn't blow the models up! Cover the models in Saram Wrap and then spray the foam on in THIN layers. You'll get a nice form-fitting pillow for the (...) (21 years ago, 28-Oct-03, to lugnet.storage)

(...) I believe that the trailer's interior is something like 6 feet wide and 10 feet long, but I'm not 100% sure about that. I think I also heard that it is rated to carry 2,000 lbs, which would be an awful lot of brick. The club owns about 16 (...) (21 years ago, 28-Oct-03, to lugnet.storage, FTX)

(...) With the NGLTC trailer I built a (URL) small carport> for it in my back yard. This not only keeps it safer from theft but keeps the sun and heat off of it and the contents. jt (21 years ago, 28-Oct-03, to lugnet.storage, FTX)
