Zippo

My son just bought a Zippo display case with 10 or more shelves. 2 1/2 feet tall maybe...4 foot long.  I thought to myself..man, that would be great for my trains if I modeled N scale.  Alas...I tinker in HO, so I won't be buying one.

FYI...the Zippo case is very well built and has plexi for front ..not real glass.

HO or smaller...

I've seen several cases over the years that'd work for trains, but only for HO or smaller scales.

I did, however, notice that a baseball bat display case can fit most On30 stuff. I bought one and eventually plan on hanging it up somehwere in the layout room with rolling stock I wouldn't be using on my layout:
