I would not want the trains to be rubbing against the wood or each other.
I keep as many trains as I can on book shelves behind glass doors, when not on the layout.
Good thinkin'. I keep a gas-powered leaf blower in the basement to keep the trains dust-free. Also a high-powered pressure washer to keep them clean. Since I live in an earthquake-free zone, I don't have to worry about the trains rubbing against the wood or each other. Or glass doors shattering, in the advent of said earthquake. Never fear, Mixed Freight is here! I have an answer for EVERYTHING, even if it's totally wrong, or 100% politically incorrect (and it usually is, one or the other, or both)!!!
Thanks totrainyard. Some good points, but rest assured, they'll be just fine at my place, trust me!
