Thanks for the generous works and the response.

I just attended a grandsons 9 th grade football game (he is the part time kicker and mostly a soccer player) and realized 425 linear feet of train shelves is one and a third football fields long !  That is a lot of train shelves and a lot of trains.  That is how long a train all the cars and engines would be if all the shelves were full.  Before I sound greedy or like a big spender, only one of the engines and cars I have cost $100 and I have been collecting for over 40 years and never sell.  Most cars cost very little and many have been repaired or scratch built.

Nobody will judge you.  My guess is that 425 cars & engines puts you in the "average" category among people on the forum.  And congrats for doing it on a budget.
