Show me your Hollow Core Door Layout

I see a couple guys have used bookcases or shelves to support their doors. I've also seen articles in MR using folding table legs. Where does one get folding table legs without having to buy a whole table???

 

Harbor Freight stores

Other big box home stores may also have them.

 

Ah, thanks, Tomkat! We have both here.

 

Thanks, Bob. We have a fairly new Lowe's close by. It's always nice to have some choice.
I'm still debating on which I want. Folding legs would let me move the layout out of the way, but bookshelves would give me additional storage space for all of my Japanese books and DVDs that I've collected.

 

Sometimes tables (folding legs, plastic top) can be had on sale for less than the folding legs alone.

 

But, could I still join the TB HCD group if I build my layout on a table? lol

 

Soitenly! Lay the HCD on top of the table. Ta-daaa!

I plan to put my HCDs on shelf brackets but I have my HO switcher supported by an unused aquarium stand right now while I work on it. I had it on top of the coffee table in my living room but was getting weird looks from visitors...

 

DOH!

I shoulda thought of dat.

 

SPEED TRAP!

 

Tomkat, you almost need yourself that Hot Rod Lincoln! Or, is the T-Bird the intended victim? lol

 

I like this. What is the width?

 

I think Campp's HCD is 36"? I'm pretty sure it's wider than mine at 30". I love this layout, too. It was part of the insperation for me to build my own HCD layout.

 

After going back and looking at Campp's first post, I stand corrected. His layout is 30" like mine.

 

Thanks! :thumbs_up:

 

Hi guys, just saw this. It was 30", but I always wished it was 36". Especially if you can walk all the way around. If you cannot walk all the way around, stay with 30".

 

It looks great. :thumbs_up: Do you have any pics in it's finished state?

 

Have a look at Bonita River Valley

 

Thanks for reviviing this thread! I've been kicking around an N scale HCD layout idea in the back of my mind for a couple of weeks. All these great layouts are adding fuel to the fire!

Nice work everyone!
