Display Cases for Genesis Challenger

Model Railroader General Discussion (Model Railroader)

I have been trying to find a display case that would be long enough to house my Athearn Genesis Challenger but have had no luck (all too short). Does anyone have an idea who makes a display case (with track) that would be long enough? The engine and tender are just under 18" in length.

Here is an example of the type of case I’m looking for: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=5991061646&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT (this one has not track though)

Take care,

Why not buy this one and add a piece of track? I had a bunch of similar display cases that I also sold on eBay, none came with track. I had a few shorter ones with track but it was just fastened on. I got mine from a friend who used to make display models for the railroads.

Bob,

I was going to do that but the plexiglass is too short.

Take care,

Life-Like made one for the original Proto Heritage 2-8-8-2 that might be big enough. I’ve got an 0-8-0 and caboose in mine. I don’t know if they are still available or not.
