Thanks for the replies, sorry in the delay on getting back to you. I have a cabinetry carpenter building this for me and it would look more like furniture than a layout. I have another thread about the pulley system, I was try to get away from that and use the Murphy bed style hinge. https://ogrforum.ogaugerr.com/...ulley-storage-system
Dear Dan
Sorry not in Dong-Ha during that time period. Did you get a chance to speak to your son about him Murphy train layout? I would like to hear what advise he has on the topic.
Dear Totrainyard and Royboy
Thanks I will look into it, I have to wait until my carpenter comes back from vacation to see what he thinks.
Dear GVDobler
That is exactly what had in mind as well but I have 12 foot ceiling which allow me to build it that wide.
Dear WildMary
I did see that system and I did look into it but the max weight is something like 215-250 lbs because of the gas shocks. The spring system can take a few hundred lbs. without a problem.
I also have a 6 year old so safety is big concern, I do not want him messy with this and get hurt or even killed by it.
