Wow, nice and neat! And a window to boot...  I like that Username, I wonder if you have any SD40's? My fav is the EMD GP40 and I model B&O, hence mine.

Nice and neat!

I have a question: Do you remember where you got the yellow and red tool holders? They are similar to ones I have and I was asked on another thread where I picked mine up. It has been so long I can't remember but being in Canada the answer probably wouldn't have done the person who asked any good anyhow.

Thanks

The yellow holders are part of a large plastic peg board style kit I bought at Harbor Freight about two years ago. I have two kits and I paid $20 each.  As for the red holder that was a  Rubbermaid Tool holder Kit. However I bought that at Hill's Department store two decades ago. That was part of a 6 piece kit of various plastic organizers for workbench applications.

Thanks - I will post the information about where you got your tool shelves to the other thread.

Nice set-up, Wow, you have 3-4 times the amount of tools I have!  However, it appears you don't have much space to work on projects; or, are we not seeing the whole work space? 

Nice horde of kits, no wonder Athearn Blue Box Kits are getting harder to find!   What are the two kits at the top of the right hand pile of kits, the two with HO on the ends?

The two kits are Train Miniature PRR FA1 and FB1. These have been on the shelf for nearly 3 decades. I will get to them one day. I normally work on one thing at a time and  the 18x36 work surface is more than adequate for my purposes.
