I am having a wall built in my basement so I can get some of my trains up on display so I can see them, instead of staring at them packed away in boxes.
I do not have a finished basement, but it is fairly open and I do all my little projects down there… and my cats love it when they get the opportunity to roam around and check it out.
So the wall will have one section that will contain my S-gauge collection that was mostly my fathers (I added some pieces to it) but the majority of it all came from my Grandmother who had family that worked at AC Gilbert, and the trains were given to my father when he was a kid (most of the sets were from 1949-1954, as I have the original catalogs they were ordered from).
The rest will be what I can fit of my G-scale collection, not sure on how many rows of shelving there will be, it will all depend on what space is available. Should be at least three rows of shelving at 18’ and one row along the bottom of about 26’ in total length.
Clean up and prep started a few days ago to get ready!
