How to space save for a town??

[Roboflincoln]

Hi guys and happy holidays/christmas/birthday/etc

 

Looking for inspiration here. Although I have a healthy sized spare room I have to admit I have people staying often =( I figure I can possibly donate roughly 1.5 metres by almost a metre permenent residence for something, and I can go upwards too and down... if I cannot go out. 

Looking for something to aim for as at present I see grand city mocs that I am uber jealous of!

I would like to fit the tram from the city square set into it, potentially on an old monorail. I would also love a railway of some sort! soooooo any tips would be great :) I have bits building up and nowhere to go with them!

 

Thanks in advance :)

I have limited space as well so to maximize diversity I make all my MOCs in my town 16 wide, 2 per 32 x 32 baseplate, usually 3 stories. Unfortunately I too am running out of space. Looking forward to Assembly Square and turning the new Park Street Townhouse into a modular but after that I am maxed.

1) stop buying Lego for a while

2) buy a bigger house

3) start buying Lego, when you run out of space move to 1) 

Repeat.

Couldn't agree more...

I have a similar problem... Although option 1) for me would be to buy a bit less LEGO. (I wouldn't be able to not buy LEGO)

But during the Christmas holidays I will set up my trains (and additional stuff of course) in the livingroom so temporarily occupying it totally. Since it temporary I don't get complaints and still enjoy a nice large layout.

Don't display everything. When you build a new set/MOC replace an older one. It will keep your display looking fresh.

Use one of these: http://www.ikea.com/no/no/catalog/products/S19011777/

75 cm x 1,25 m

Looks good, affordable and stable. I have build my city on three of these and it works very well I guess. Feel free to have a look at my Instagram-account.
