Train Rooms!!
The other day on the featured Pics on the bottom of the front page here on TWP, I saw a little of Domiluk's digs. VERY COOL  !! So I thought I would show a few pics of what you would see as we go down to the basement to see the PHCRR. We pass a set of A-B-A Pennsy F-Units, then we see a set of retired trains used for Interior Decorating!! A fine use for a narrow space if I say so myself!! Martha Stewart, eat your heart out!! 
So then we have to find the door to THE INNER SANCTUM!! Can you guess where it is??
Then I figure every train room needs some other way cool gadgets, toys, or something unique, so I have this item, something very commonly found on the roads of our fine land...
If anyone asks, I "found" it....
One of these days, I'll clean up the place for RMC or MRR when they stop by...(not!)
I will add a few more later, but I wanted to open the thread for YOU to show us where your trains live, or if you have some unusual gizmo/curiosity in your
domicile.

Domiluk, put some pics up!!!
Seems there was some confusion with the traffic at a local RR Crossing and at an intersection, but after the wrecks, I wasn't volunteering any information!
Actually, I worked at a place that made street signs, and I got the last RR Crossing sign. The Traffic light came from a friend who worked for a company that did contract work for the State, and he gave me the thing.
I have a set of Crossing lights too, but I'm going to get the Cross Bucks before I put them up.
Hey! Both of you guys have a place where your trains live, let's see it!!

TM's trains live in a closet. He only brings them out when he thinks about coming down here to run them, lol

Here's the wall outside my train room. The entrance is directly to the left of the photo.
Let's be careful about going too far with this closet thing.

Aside from the coffee table layout in my living room and the other coffee table layout in the family room, the majority of the train stuff lives in the dining room...
