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

We are still working out the best way to store everything so that it will not

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.

issues with the trailer being off balance when it’s traveling? With the NGLTC
trailer I have been packing it in such a way that the weight is equal on both
sides so I’ve tried to keep the contents pretty symetrical.
I like the “eztrack” where did you get that from? Is EZtrack the real name of
the product?

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)
