Affordable enclosed display case
Posted by Anonymous on Saturday, January 6, 2007 11:14 AM

I'd like to display a couple of trains in my restaurant. I'd like the case to be just one shelf and long enough for a train. It needs to be enclosed. I can't seem to find one that doesn't cost more than the train did! Any suggestions?

If you haven't checked out Full View Display, here is their web site.  They don't list exactly what you want, but they did some custom work for me.  I think they will make whatever size you want.  Call or send them an email.

HI GIZ,

   Already 70 here today going to hunt for deer in T shirt this afternoon, unheard of in January.

I will probably have a fire tonight and cook outside another unheard of thing for me in January.

Maybe this is global warming?

CSX30 JOHN, nice animation page love the trains, and the females.

JELECTRIC,hope your son does well at farm show.  Going to watch the High School Rodeo tonight on PCN.  Always lots of fun and the bulls will win again in the bull riding contest.  Love watching the goat roping by the girls, some tough girls out there.

Have a good one stay cool.

Good tip John! I've bought 1/18 diecast display cases from these folks and they are VERY well made.

Pop, why don't you do a garden size RR [G guage] around the top of the Lakehouse.  Put it on a shelf.  Wink [;)]Smile [:)]  Bet my little nephew got a lot for toys for Chritsmas.  BTW: about time for you to buy a new bass boat. Shock [:O]
