Lego Room

Post by **fantasytrain** » Fri Jan 14, 2005 12:01 pm

I'm in the process of designing a new addition to our house. It will be about 700 sq foot extra per floor - 12 feet for the length of the house.

Any suggestions for the Lego room? Needs to accomodate Building, Displaying and a train layout.

Have trapdoors in the walls to allow a train to exit and reenter the room!

poll everyone to find out what the best sorting system is , and what ones you think will work for best for you , and is upgradeable too !

have at least a 4 by 3 building area , and some glass cabinets to put built mocs in , to keep the dust off.

Alex and mines sorting system is the best...

Even Bv uses it...

i disagree , i think the idea of "overflow" is tricky for quick visual estimating

Oh, I got rid of overflow for the most part...

Actually Lego is one of the biggest reasons for the expansion. I need a room for building and my train layout. I'm thinking about 20' by 15'. :-)Does that sound about right.

We are looking at expanding the main floor by either 70% or just adding another floor. Either way we will have a lot of space at the end.

What IS your sorting system? Mine is currently all over the floor, haha...

Even though I have a LEGO room, it's not quite big enough... I think mine's only roughly 10' by 10'...

hey rob,will you have your layout high enough to build and store underneath?that way you could enjoy a god amount of space for a layout and have lots of storage and building area under the layout.I still working out details on my rec room .I basically have 20x13 to work with a layout ,with a bin storage system on one wall and storage for under the layout.Hopefully I'll be able to host a meeting in a couple of months if everyone wants to come.
I've had a nasty trogan virus on my computer at home ,only on the net for one month and I,m hooped.I sent it to a friend to get repaired but its been two weeks.Hope your building addtion goes well Rob ,take care.

Seeing as Julie's birthday was this past weekend (thursday actually), we had friends over.

Needless to say, we needed somewhere for them to crash at the end of the night... usually around 2 or 3 am.

The Lego / Storage room had to be cleaned up and out, so now I have my Lego room back, although I am currently building on the open floor in the living room... :rotflol:
