Title: My Old Repair Shop
Post by: Len on February 21, 2015, 01:05:43 PM
I was cleaning files off my old repair shop computer, and came across some pictures from when I first set up back in 2001 I thought you might find interesting. This is before I got the milling machine, resistance soldering unit, and a few other goodies.

Early repair shop layout:

Right side, with mulitscale test bench. Throttles and DCC systems are in the drawers:

Left side with workbench, Arduk tester for 3-rail stuff, and toolboard:

Better shot of the tool board:

Final floor plan with new benches for additional equipment. For some reason, I never took pictures of this layout:

Now I just need the weather to warm up, and my daughter and grandkids to move out, so I get this stuff out of the garage and into a spare bedroom next to the layout room.

Who on earth has a workshop that clean, neat and tidy?

Not me for one.  :)

I bet Len spends less time than you do having to look for stuff Roger  :D

I learned real quick, if I wanted to find anything the next morning, to pick it up and put it away before I left for the day. ;D

When you've got three repair jobs going at the same time, it's easy for things to get lost in the clutter.

Oh, come on Len. You are an alien life form from the planet Neaticia. No use pretending it ain't so.  :D
