Could you not just install 6 extra shelves in the "free spaces"? Seems to be just enough room. Could become a weight problem though when (not if ) you fill all of them up.

And since you have good taste and a sense for quality...the rest of the "good stuff" will be forthcoming! Great looking collection anyway...makes me feel like going back 50 years! Cheers

Yes,layout has been recently de-constructed after much frustration and now I have persisted with brand new benchwork. Laying track shortly- will post some pics. Thanks guys for your fine comments. Even though I'm 33, I just love collecting the old locos, but also enjoy converting newer ones to digital and leaving the SET800 and RET800 as they are. For everyones info, the coal carriages are in fact Electrotren. Cheers, Glenn

Here of course, earthquakes are always a worry, so I would be looking for some way of preventing items from falling out. Having said that, you have a great collection, and your woodworking skills look pretty good too!
