one question often asked is where i store my collection. unfortunately, i dont have the room to display it properly.
instead, its kept in a variety of suitcases and plastic storage boxes and lives in the ceiling space.
over easter, mum and i have been working on clearing some space up there as theres no room and the weight is a concern. once a pathway was re-cleared, i took the chance to snap some shots of my storage.
once we can get in properly, i plan on re-sorting my collection and taking photos of inside each suitcase. the photos ive got so far dont show the true extent of things.
may 2012 update: a local store had plastic drawers on special, so i bought 3 for the trains to go in. this has meant the plastic boxes now contain stuff like tunnels etc and the suitcases are being donated back to charity where they came from.
while im doing this, i am also attempting to sort the track out again. with the shows last year, stuff has ended up all over the place.

2013 re-organization. after many weeks, i finally have things organized better. still have one or two small bags that need to be sorted, but for the most part its done.
2014, the big shift down
the important stuff gets moved down from the ceiling and into the double wardrobe
