Based on the original idea/construction by Jim Fitzgerald in the late sixties. Article in the November, 1968 Model Railroader.

We have one at the Belmont Shore Club. It does not get used a lot due to its size and bulk, but once in a while, it comes in handy.

I use an automotive creeper with an inexpensive patio lounger on top. It's narrow enough to use your feet to move around and the adjustable back make reaching easy.

The lounger folds relatively flat when not in use

This discussion is about a device which gives you a long reach over the layout.



Sounds like your example is for working under the layout. At least that is how I envision a creeper and lounge chair combination.

Oops, Wrong creeper...............Sorry.

I should have been sharper. My dad had one in his automotive garage back in the 50's.....He sold his.
