• Still haven't finished yet. Still got to get plexiglas cut for sliding doors and put lights in. But its getting close. Had to see if everything I wanted to put in it would fit. Still got a few more to go in but they will all fit with a little room left for a few more.

• Very Nice  Really like the two on the bottom left and is that a 1" Coles Case above them?

• Holy cow! That's quite a menagerie. You really look a bit overloaded...I could easily store something here for you. I'd have to run it every once in a while, ya know to keep it fresh. I'm not picky which one, they all look damn fine

  Hi Nick, I think that might be a 1.5" or 2" Case.
  The flywheels on the bottom shelf are 8.25" on the Sam Harman Moguls.

• Randy, your display case looks great with some fine model engines in it!
  
  
  And..
  
  
  It is clearly more than strong enough!

• Very nice, but you may as well start building a second, as you know this one will be overflowing before long!

• Thanks everyone. The Case is a 2" scale. I built it from castings from Coles several years ago. This cabinet is one of 7 I have in my shop. The others are smaller and full of steam toys. When I get everything done I'll post pictures of all of them. Just playing having fun.

  The cabinet is much larger than I had guessed! I just bought a 2" Case, and it's a heavy engine at 140 pounds to lift up onto that shelf  We need something common in the picture for scale.
