RTrainCollector, it’s an interesting coincidence you posted the pictures of your trains on the shelves… I just recently got around to building a couple of shelves above my layout. I suppose my SPF pics are as much about the shelves as the trains… [;)]
The six-shelf unit above the engine terminal - I left a lip sticking up above the top shelf on either side to discourage the trains from rolling off the ends:
Above the end of the layout, I installed a wider, single shelf that can hold trains or a few boxed sets. I wouldn’t have been able to reach the upper levels if I would have built another 6 shelf unit, but the low, wide shelf is accessible:
Now, I just need to work on the shelves on the other end of the layout!
I sure enjoyed seeing the collections, as well as how the trains are displayed. I’ll see what ideas I can borrow for my display! AF53, the sad thing is there are more Marx windups on the shelves under the layout and on the opposite wall… More CV’s, 833’s, a lonely 943, not to mention the plastic body windups. It’s a sickness, but I don’t want to be cured… James
