Cubicle Train

[MetalbyMorgan]

Hello everyone,
I am new to the forum and am already impressed with what information you have here. I started working with model trains after losing my grandfather, an electrical engineer on the Erie-Lackawanna. He had an old Lionel layout that dwarfed me as a kid and I have been interested ever since.

I had one layout as a teenager and since have made a few "under the Christmas tree sets" but nothing very elaborate. This year a little nostalgia was sparked and I decided since I had no tree I should bring my hobbie to work and it was a success. I hope to learn more and hopefully make a small layout that I can continue to enjoy with your help. be prepared for questions on all this new technology.

Below are some pictures of the train running around my cube. It is still there minus the X-mas decorations. even my boss wants me to keep it there. LOL

That's a pretty cool deal that even your boss likes it up there. Nice setup

As someone that installs cubicle's and office furniture I have seen the way people decorate there spaces put that is a frist for me.

Looks good

I used to live in a cubicle... One of the supervisors had a half loop of track in his cube

That is awesome!

I have been thinking about doing something like this in N, actually my boss suggested it because I have been so into trains lately. I have just not had the nerve.

I have a 6x10 cube, I took one of the desk pieces at the end that I will never use and put it up above my desk as a high shelf, I think it is a 2x4 space. I just moved into it, my number came up for a window cube. I was figuring I would put plants on it, but now I am seriously considering an N scale train.

A lot better use of a cubicle than 99% of the "work" that's performed in one.
