Everyone, thank you for the insights and that is what I was hoping for when I posed the question.
TomTee, I’m going to be limited to an oddly shaped closet in my train room. The door opening will be about three feet away from the side of the layout and I won’t be able to run a spur into the area. However, earlier Pat had mentioned that he mounts a toolbox under his layout. I intend to that since it will be within reach. There will also be a work bench in the garage.
