There is storage beneath the cradle for miscellaneous tools, screws and small parts. The cradle length is 32 inches by 6 inches high. The base is 20 inches long by 12" wide by 4 1/2" high. This Train Work Station is meticulously hand crafted with quality workmanship and parts throughout. The base is fully assembled.
All parts are included except for the two-sided carpet tape used for the foam padding. I also build 22", 28" and 36 versions. Product was carefully created and packaged in a very thoughtful way. Hand Crafted in Canada with the last photo showing my 22 cradle and an Aristo Craft Dash 9 :Locomotive in the cradle.
