New Display
« on: August 24, 2023, 07:58:13 am »
I needed a place to show my collection of engines.  So I just finished building a set of shelves.  I thought they came out pretty good.  Still have plenty of room since I have several kits that need to be started, including:

  • Un-started Stuart H10 Castings Kit
  • Un-started PM Research bottle engine Castings Kit
  • Started Tiny Power twin cylinder marine engine

The two Wilsco engines were mine as a kid.  My parents got them for me circa 1962 and 1965.

The shelving looks great, showcasing an enviable selection of fine engines. However, I'd have to suggest that there is nowhere near enough space available for the likely "eventualities" most steamers tend to experience while slip-sliding down this slippery slope!

True, not big enough, but I can ditch the clock.

But I rather like the clock, yet another fine example of mechanical perfection from our illustrious past!

I like how the shelves can be adjusted up and down AND feature good support under each.  Also like the desk/bench like area center with chair...perfect place to steam an engine, work on one or just enjoy.

Well done,
Roger

Nice job on the new shelving unit!

Looks like it will be a great display.
