MTE-240 Model Train Elevator - Lower-Level Storage

The PROSES MTE-240 Single-Platform Model Train Elevator is designed to move complete trains smoothly between your main layout and a storage area positioned below it.

Instead of handling locomotives and rolling stock by hand, the complete train enters the elevator directly from the layout. The platform then lowers to the storage level, where the train can move onto fixed storage tracks.

It is an ideal solution for layouts where valuable space underneath the layout can be used as a hidden train storage or staging area.

Available for:

Z / N / TT / HO / OO / S Scale

Custom dimensions can also be produced according to the scale, train length and layout requirements.

How It Works

Layout Level → Train Enters Elevator → Elevator Moves Down → Lower-Level Storage

The train remains on the track throughout the process, reducing unnecessary handling and making it much easier to store and retrieve complete trains.

Custom Made for Your Layout

Every model railway installation is different, so the elevator can be produced with custom platform lengths, travel distances, stopping positions and scale-specific configurations to suit your layout.

CUSTOM SIZES AVAILABLE

From your layout straight to storage — without handling the train.
