I am close to finishing my room build and knocked together some shelves to hold rolling stock projects. I am building a large staging area so this is meant to hold kits and repaint projects. I decided that building a case with sliding glass doors was a future project if I ever get that far

I took some white pine from my sawmill that i have been drying by my wood furnace

After planing, ripping and sanding I ran it through my small shaper with a 1" round over (bullnose bit)

I cut some angle brackets and screwed them through the back of the wall standard

for the shelves, I used the bull-nosed pieces, and rather than laying track, I cut two grooves the correct distance to hold the flanges of the wheels

  Nice looking shelves. If you just cut one groove for the rear wheel flanges  the cars will tilt backin slightly which gives a bit better view when standing in the aisle looking at them plus some safety margin if one lives in earthquake country :> ) ....DaveB
