The installation process disrupted the train room slightly. Prior to the new HVAC system, there were only 2 supply vents into the basement and they were not optimally located. I was not so concerned about cooling in the basement, as it seems to be a static 70-72 F down there during the summer, but in the wintertime it can be a bit chilly in the basement, as the temp typically drops into the upper 50s to low 60s. I had the HVAC guys add 2 new supply ducts to the train room and 1 new return duct. It was relatively easy for them to do this, as the walls surrounding the furnace are the backside of the train room.
However, in order for them to do the install, they advised me to remove the trains on one wall. Luckily it was the shortest run of shelving in the whole room, but it still took 3 big boxes for all of these small trains.
Here is the adjoining wall with the new ducts, two supply ducts at the top and 1 return at the bottom
So last night, it was like Christmas, as I unpacked all of the trains and put them back on the shelves. It was good, as it allowed me to arrange the trains slightly better.
Ruby, my 11-month old Labrador, has discovered the benefit of air-conditioning, in that she can lay on top of the vent and let the cool air flow.
