Reply to "Storing Train Sets"

When one thinks about it, these things have often been stored in conditions with extreme temp swings and in all parts of the country. For instance, my father's trains from the 40's have been in an upper Michigan farm attic. From -30 to 100+ in old cardboard boxes. They are just fine. While I admit climate control is great, I don't think it's a deal breaker if you don't have it. I hope not, I have a massive amount waiting in what some of you guys would probably cringe at. But they are doing fine. I guess I'd probably worry about modern electronics more. 

Matt - since my garage is insulated and the humidity is fairly low my temperature swings to from about a low of 50 in winter to about 85 in summer. Cooling flows in from the laundry room in summer with the door open and I run a small heater in winter when I'm using it. 

The big doors are not opened much as we have too much crap to ever put cars in there.
