Ted, your scenic shelf is really beautiful! If a person can do such a nice job, that is the way to go.
I have not used Glen Snyder, but I like the low profile for someone like me who has little space! I think there would be less trouble with me bumping into it. LOL So far what I have on shelves are on my ugly shelves. LOL
Mark I agree. For storage and display they are awesome! Now for a single display shelf I think a nice custom wooden one looks great! Parking being my issue is why I like the GS shelves.
Jim
Yup, I have some GS shelves for the majority of trains, the shelf I sceniced was for display in the family room for a single model. Something a little more special. Will rotate favorites as the mood strikes. Brian, are you confident your dowels will hold an Allegheny or AC9 for example? That’s the only concern, is the weight. Mike, your idea is along the lines of what I was thinking, only an L bracket. Engine would hide the vertical leg. Thx for the good ideas, keep em’ coming.
WOW you just gave me a good idea ( I think ) I have an old custom mantle that I put away 4 years ago when I took out our fireplace. To mount in you just screw a 2x3 to the wall into the studs and sit the mantel over it. Instant train shelf! Free too!!!! Sometimes I just dont think lol
