Making life easy

Although my railway is hinged to the wall, moving everything off that isn't nailed down, can be a pain.
Having spent most of last week under the railway, propped up on one elbow, only leaves one hand free. There had to be an answer, and a little thought produced a result.
I needed a backrest, and sit on the floor. The backrest moved, so with two pieces of wood, one for the back, and one the seat, joined with two hinges, it worked. The third hinge connects the top of the back to a strip of wood to prop the backrest up. The length of the strip determines how far you need to recline, and a piece of string holds it in place.
I can now recline under the railway, and work with both hands...... Why didn't I think of that before!!!
