Materials: Liatorp Coffee Table
Description: The hack includes the Liatorp coffee table with
glass top and pull out drawer that was modified to include an N scale
model train set.
The drawer from the factory includes a cross in the middle of the drawer
making four available compartments, and two particle board pieces that
make up the drawer bottom. Now obviously this won't work if you plan to
utilize the entire space in the drawer. Leaving out the cross was easy
but by doing so, the bottom particle board pieces are rendered useless.
"So I need a floor for the drawer. I took the necessary measurements and
made my way over to TAP plastics, had a custom floor made, and I was
good to go."
After assembly, the only thing left to do is design the train layout. "I used a program called AnyRail available at anyrail.com. Once the layout is set, it's just a matter of purchasing the engines, cars and scenery that you like to complete the look. Since this was my first attempt, I spent a little more than I probably would have liked but I think it was worth it." It's definitely a conversation piece and fun to look at.

Looks great! One question, how deep is the drawer?
