The benchwork crew of my club really have outdone themselves w/ the walk-in Elevator to our new massive yard.
A video of it’s operation

Close ups of the track splices, rails soldered to PC ties for added stability
This works wonders for entering the rather large pit that can accomadate up to 3-4 operators
Very clever.
I, too, decided I am too old for duck unders. I built a swing gate.
Very ingenious solution to the duck under problem. For those who are still thinking about the best solution for their duck under situation here is my way of dealing with it: I bought a cheap small height adjustable desk chair( children size) and in its lowest position I roll under the layout and the duck under in my case became a roll under. Of course this solution depends very much on the height of the layout and how tall you are.
