Another nights sleep, another idea....
Now this is more specific for my layout, but I am now thinking not to use a wheeled cart, but make it a drawer. About 6 ft long and 24 inches deep. I would use heavy duty drawer slides and only have one feeder track to the sliding table. This would give me 72 ft of storage and no switch work to get into it, saving money and space.:thumb:
I am working on the assumption that I wouldn't get into the storage area very often. I would have a strip of plastic on the one side to keep the cars from over-running the table.
Now I only need to dream up how to align the feeder track to the table tracks. Maybe a pair of pins would slide into the table and also provide power to the connected storage track.
The table could be motorized, but this sounds like a lot of extra work.wall1
