Ok
I'll give a few details here. First thanks guys for the get well messages.
Now the size of the basement is 2300 square feet. Not all is used for my shop. The orginal plan 10 years ago was to fill with an HO scale layout. I even started on it. There's a 4' X 8' section built. As things progressed over the years I got more interested in a machine shop than a layout of such large size.
Stew, I'll take some close ups of those steamers for you.
John, Ya I do have a bit of wood dust contamination. I try to keep that to minimum with an air filter unit I built using a furnace squirrel cage fan with two course filters in front the cage and a fine filter behind the cage. Does a pretty good job if place close to the wood working machine you are using. Right now it needs to rebuilt. When I do that I'll post a thread on it.
Ok, it's off to take some pics for you that asked.

Bernd:
And here are the pics as promised.
First the saw. It's a small table top saw either made by Sear & Robach Co. and sold by Dunlap or the other way around. It had no motor when I got it. I'm going to use a tread mill motor to power it when I get around-tuit.
Next are the steam engines. These are On30, that's code for O scale, narrow gauge, 30" track width. Baiscally these engines will run on HO gauge track.
The Climax
The 2 cylinder Shay
A 2-6-0 Mogul
Here's a picture for comparison between HO and O scale. In the background are the two O scale engines. Infront are two HO scale standard gauge ( 4'-8.5") three truck, three cylinder Sahys
Here's a pic of a bunch of engines and cars. Two Porter engines, a small diesel, the gray one and the black steamer. To the left of the little Porter diesel is a scratch built engine in the not quite done stage as all my other projects. In front of the is a Pierce Arrow railtruck. These were made from Pierce Arrow trucks. LINKY HERE Scroll down. The cars are little side dump gondola's. Behind the steam is a tank on a flat car. Then behind the tank car is another unfinished engine I'm scartch building with log cars to the right of it.
And this is how to utilize horizontal storage.
Now here are some pics of the area before it got so crowded with treasures.
Here's one of when I started. Notice, no horizontal storage. And much less on the floor too!
I know somebody's going to ask about that round wooden thing on the floor. It's were the sump pump would have gone to pump out the cellar. I was lucky and it drains out by itself.
Closer view of my incline setting jig. It helps to establish grade hight.
I hope I've answered everybodys question. If any have more, ask away.

I have table saw like that. Says "Craftsman" on it. Got it from my brother-in-law before he passed away.
Don't use but can't get rid of it either.
Don't over due it and heal up quick Bernd.
