Thats pretty impressive!  Nice collection

Nice

Now that's a basement! (that I've always dreamed of) -enjoy

Very nice. I like your taste in shelve design. Here are mine.

Joe,

Oh, some very nice trains sitting on some great looking selves. I will always have a soft spot for MPC trains.

Very Nice!!!!

Thom,

Thank you for starting this topic. You have some beautiful looking Pittsburgh area trains. Orange is my favorite color. Therefore, I love those Bessemer and Lake Erie items. Peggy and I ran into Tommy Manners and his wife the other evening at Eat N' Park in Indiana. Sorry to hear about Gordy.

Thom,

The shelves and the contents look great!

Nicely done!

OK- now I'm depressed. TWO really awesome train rooms in one thread.

Going to go and cry over my little 4X8 board stuck in the corner of the basement now.

Couple of mine

Take heart!  There are many of us with you, Bob!

Yes, they are both really nice!!

A big earthquake knocked all my trains off the shelf

JUST KIDDING  they survived many small quakes sitting up there.

Never can have enough shelves! If anyone's looking for a source for ready to hang, cost effective wooden train shelving, send me and email (in my profile). 

I hope Ya'll don't mind me butting in on your thread....but I couldn't resist!....after being packed away for almost 20 years....I finally got my new train room....built this spring....im still pinching myself!

How do you guys keep the trains clean?

I happily dust mine every Saturday morning....very early...with a fresh cup of coffee.....very therapeutic..

.

and this wood was all free, salvaged from skids we get at my work that has stainless steel coils delivered on.

To all who posted pictures, well done. Thank you for sharing. To the question of keeping the trains clean, do any of you use compressed air in a can? It is a product normally meant to clean computer keyboards.

Here is my one display shelf.

Looks great Thom! Can't wait to see them in a couple weeks. 

These are mine. The shelves were here from when we bought the house.  The owner two owners ago was a big train guy (Father Crowley) and he put them up. I need more shelves on the other wall, but this is fine for now.

Look great. Father Crowley was a great guy I knew him. 

Has anyone purchased cases from Trackside Train Display Cases? 

I sent them inquiries and called but no responses.....just wanted to see if anyone has had any experiences with this outfit. 

Many thanks.

My rotating shelves

How did you mount the shelves to the wall?

Nice display DOC.   Since your post has evolved to show your shelves, here's my modest trains collection displayed on some DIY crafted shelving.

Thanks! I make these my self as well as other Lionel dealer display items.

I reproduce shelves such as this and for Lionel

Here are my (Glenn Snyder) shelves in three rooms and configurations in my home:

Brian- your basement is bigger then my three car garage!! LOL Impressive! I like what you've done, especially with the upper level or mezzanine, I don't know if I'm describing that correctly, but that's pretty neat! And to all others the pics you've posted of your train shelve are impressive too! Thanks for the idea!
