ModelRailroadForums.com is a free
Model Railroad Discussion Forum and
photo gallery. We cover all scales and sizes of model railroads. Online since 2002, it's one of the oldest and largest model railroad forums on the web. Whether you're a master model railroader or just getting started, you'll find something of interest here.
We all spend a lot of time here. So, whatever you call it: work bench, maintenance area, fix-it table, etc.
Post some pictures of where you work on your trains.
I actually have 3. The first pic I do the most of my work here. The second, a corner of my layout and if working on something larger, I use my woodworking bench.
This is the area I have been cleaning up for the last few days. I put the lights up this week, so I could actually see the area. It’s almost useable.
Nice bench and nicer trestle!
Are those LED lights?
Mike
LED's are at the top of my "GET" list. I looked at some a few weeks ago and the prices are dropping, compared to last year. That's why I don't have any yet.
Very nice for your 1st scratch build!
Jim - Now that first picture looks like a great place to work. My old workbench looked like that, my new one hasn't reached that stage yet!
Willie
As you know, it takes years for a bench to look like that. My wife says - it's a big mess, how do you know where anything is? I tell her - it might be a mess to you, but I know exactly where everything is.
And all within arms reach.
It works for me!
Ok, here's my primary work area.
Roger
Good looking bench. Just the way I like it!
In the interest of fairness in advertising: It's NEVER this clean. I just got frustrated one day and cleaned up.
Alan
It could have a little more stuff on it, but I still like it.
Is that a Micro-Mark drill press? How do you like it?

It's worth every penny. There's also a Unimat lathe on a separate table, the blasting booth and ultrasonic cleaner, and a resistance soldering station out of frame. This is where most of the evil takes place!
Alan
You have a good shop with lots of neat machines.
M-M has good machines. I have a M-M d.c. hand drill and a 5" bench disc sander and really like them.
I have a Craftsman floor model drill press, but would like to have a small bench-top like that.
My work area... a clean bench, in between projects.
Scott
A little too neat & clean for me, but I have never seen a workshop I didn't like.
I like it.
The mirror in the corner is cool!
Thanks Max. I agree, too clean! I just finished weathering a wooden passenger platform and had cleaned things up. The workbench is now ready for the next project.
Scott
Bonus: Not only my work area, but
me in the shot too!

Funny, two large houses and I do not have a work area. Might have to carve out a part of the locker room or science lab. Currently I work on the dining room table, or a fold up table I stick anywhere it will fit when I need it. They would make for a very boring pictures.
JazzDad
I see that your into chemicals. Looks like a good start of a chem plant on the layout.
Iron Horseman
If I were to work on the dining room table, I'd be in divorce court.
A full now due to moving things around while the benchwork is being done for the new layout.
