Peter, those shelves look great. That's some serious display space you have there. Got a brand new paint booth just like that for Christmas but the grandkids commandeered it for a fort and are sleeping in it.

Tell Tom he is doing a great job.
Thanks for all the kind words.......let me show you how great Tom’s skill is......this is level 7 on the north wall and northwest wall.......I think that is mighty good!
Happy New Year, folks!

Peter: That bubble looks to be .2mm out! But really, great job. I know that you are really getting excited.
Keep the posts coming.
WOW! 73 six foot Glen Snyder shelves are now up in the new train room......Tom (Gilly@N&W) did a masterful job!
Here are the pics of the completed shelving..........
Look at how beautiful the corner came.....the attention to detail with the hip roof!!!!!!
36" shelves....perfect for large steamers and two unit diesels......
Looking forward to taking out the trains this week!

Looks like a great train room Peter!
Please post pictures when you get all of the trains up on the shelves, so I can show my wife that I'm not so bad !!
Wow, your going to have a truly unique and wonderful train room, it’s a beautiful work in progress, thanks for the updates, keep ‘‘em coming. Happy Railroading Everyone
Gorgeous!
Peter and Tom!
Excellent job, Peter and Tom
Just a great looking train room.
Shelving? You need to run them not shelve them!
Pictures do not do that train room justice. It is well on the way to being a magnificant layout. It was my sincere pleasure to spend a few days with my dear friend putting up these shelves. We had some learnings along the way. Well before the end, we had worked out a process for getting these on the wall!
Like you, I can't wait to see these shelves filled with trains! While Peter didn't mention it, we used every piece he had. Scrap is religated to gondola loads. We ran short by 1/4" on one section. Good luck finding it.....

Curtis, I think Peter must have enough trains to fill a layout that is twice as big as this monster room can handle!
A first-class job by Tom, and now you have a whole lot of beautiful shelving to display a whole lot of treasured trains. You two guys obviously work very well together.
Peter, now the real question is do you have too much shelf space, or not enough engines and rolling stock to fill them? That is of course a silly question because everyone knows that there is usually something on the layout, the shelves are just for what is not on the layout.
That being said, did you buy enough space to house quite a bit with room to pop more stuff on there, or just enough to alternate stuff out?
I find it very satisfying that you got to put the shelves up and get the room done up BEFORE you had anything in there. That's the best way to get it done.
Isn’t it a principal of science that nature abhors a vacuum, so trains will expand to fill all available shelves???
That is a magnificent installation, Peter & Gilly. As others have said, can’t wait to see your collection displayed on the shelves. And if you more shelves than trains, there is always York and Forum Sponsors

A selfie of both of us while nearing completion.......
....and a reminder.....wear your safety glasses like we are.......when you are generating "little pieces" of stuff!
