Do you put your layout on wheels? | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

I have my entire 16x10 layout on casters. When I need to access the back side of it, I just pull the whole thing about 1 to 1.5 ft from the wall, crawl underneath, and do what I need to do. Lighter weight construction and a little planning keeps me from having to crawl on top of it.

What do you do?

My layout is 12.5 X 8 and originally was in our garage, now it is in a 16 X 12 room in our home and the castors allow me to easily pull the layout away from the wall to work all around it. Was a great investment. The steel frame Is very light but solid

A long time ago and early in the construction phase... these depressed 3-caster rollers were previously used under giant mixers in a bakery--now they make my layout mobile. Very very helpful!

I like both setups above! My 16' layout is in a 16.5' room with carpeting, so having that mobility to get at the back of the table is key.

14, 3" ball casters allow daily access to the closets behind the 8' x 5' display.
