Picture of Your Workbench

Not Train specific, but it'll get the job done 

Here's my work area.  Obviously, I do a lot of electronic work, so the test equipment gets used a lot.  I also have a test track that I flop on the bench and use the DCS or TMCC system testing/repair.  My parts are all in drawers and down below in 20+ parts boxes that I pull out as needed.  Conveniently, my computer desk is right next to the bench, so I can link the computer to the DCS for loading sound files, and a serial connection for working with the Legacy system.

I have several other 5 foot tables for staging stuff that's waiting to be repaired, etc.

All my stuff like saws, drill presses, etc. are in the next room, I guess you could call it the workshop extension.

I repair for two shops.  Just came upstairs a few minutes ago to check the boards.

these are old lots moved further along in the line.  Gonna finish those NP domes before Scott makes em if it kills me

Here's mine; very sophisticated; all the latest accoutrements to feed your repair; what is not shown is the voluminous support from members of the forum.

Interesting question.

Here's my work area (no foolin' .) The table on which I do the crafting of scenes is on the left, there; the acrylic boxes are for containing the in-progress and finished buildings and vignettes until I am ready for their use. The whole facility is in the trainroom itself, at the foot of the stairs (off to the right) leading up to the first floor; the entire Moon Township layout is directly behind the camera, in this photo. Obviously, I am not very organized; rather, I like to be immersed in the whole effort. Some tools and ingredients are out-of-frame, and some are in that black box under the table, and in plastic bins scattered around the area, as are ingredients which are arrayed throughout the workroom. The bookcases contain some of my collection, keeping me further inebriated with the whole train-thing, for maximum stimulation of my imagination.

That entire area is on the other side of this screen, with a corner of the layout on the right in this photo...

My grandfather’s desk when I first built the layout, presently, and sometimes loaned out for important magnifying and electrical projects. 

My workbench doubles for my Woodworking projects also.

This is a unique and very funny reply.

This is my workbench:

I'm serious. I used to have a workbench with a big vice and a band saw in the laundery/furnace room where I now have my baseball field and part of my train layout.

Space was scarce, and so I opted to dismantle my workbench and expand my layout there. LOL, Arnold

I bought a rolling toolbox from Home Depot that has a ton of drawers and a wood "butchers block" top on it. Just fits under my layout.  So I can roll it under when not in use.   Drawback is you cant leave anything on it.  Or maybe that is a blessing?

Arnold, i do see blue benches and stadium lights! Works for me, lol.

Work bench, see tools in cat mug to the right! Lol.

The shine on my tools is long gone, the workbench moves.  Tail gate and saw horses.  Best wishes all.   

My shop area...plenty to do today...Pat

If only it could remain this way. I'd know where everything is!

(I'm moving to a new "wing"; I did extend it 6" - never a bad thing to have.) 

I'm a slob and offer no excuses. I'm in this to have fun  Cleaning is not fun.   

I just located & purchased the Williams E7s I had been after.  That was right after repairing the model dragster I built for my nephew (8 years ago) which took a spill off the shelf at his house,,,,,OUCH
