It looks like that the moderators have recently deleted the old everything Thomas thread, probably due to the fact that the thread was exceeding over 200 pages and taking up a lot of space as a result.  I figured I would start up a new thread for everyone, feel free to continue to carry-on any previous discussions you had on the older thread or anything Thomas related in this thread as per usual. 
Modeler of HO/OO, OO9 and N scale.  Hoping for N scale Henry, Edward and Duck.

Hello all, it's been a while since I've posted here.

I have a question regarding storage of models. In a few days I am moving out of state for graduate school and will be away from my models and layout at least until Thanksgiving.

Does anyone have any recommendations for properly storing models for long periods of time as well what to do with the layout? (Upkeep, perhaps cover with tarp?, etc).

Thank you very much and thank you Chaz for starting a new thread!

The room where my layout is tends to get damp, so I store all my locos in individual plastic zip-lock bags. I then line them up in plastic storage drawers. I tend to store the rolling stock in the same plastic drawers but without the bags. I'm not sure if this method is "kosher," but it does the job lol!

I hope this helps,

I tend to place my models back into their boxes or blister packs and place them in a large cardboard box. Soon I'm hoping to replace that with a clear or colored container.

I totally forgot about that movie. With 3 different release dates it's probably got canned since its been 5 years with no activity.

The movie doesn't seemed interesting and probably a failure like the Magic Railroad.

It's a movie that Brenden Reid has been working on for a couple years. It's a fan made film.
