Careful now Rico, Karl has snuck a BL2 into that shot the cheeky bugger! Nearly cracked my screen!

If the postman is kind we might be able to see some of those shiny (literally) new N scale E5s before the week is up. Gonna have to wait a week or two for mine to cross the ocean.

I finally got my 2x6ft display case hung up and slowly started filling it up. I guess I can use 4 - 5 more of these so then I can display some full trains, LOL.

Default W.E. Snatchem

Here's the " W.E. Snatchem " funeral home. I am undecided if I will use it as a funeral home or just a home on the layout. However, the hearse (still) being assembled will fit nicely with the cemetery. The cemetery is not too far across town. The land has been allocated, but construction has not begun yet!

Nice case Mark. Built it or buy it? If bought who sells them?
Thanks.

My GF bought me the case off EBay for $117! Only catch is I had to drive down to NJ to pick it up but it wasn't a bad ride down. I did measure it and drew up a blueprint for the parts used in the case but only thing is after going on-line and looking at Lowe's for Oak parts a 4ft x 2ft case was already up to $80 and that wasn't including the Oak trim and pine for the hanger boards or glass doors. So it was a good deal as just guessing it would be around $150 - $200 in parts to make the 2X6 case like I got. The case was made by a guy in PA and the only info I have is this.

Mark, Mike
You can build a case cheaply and easily!
Get a Sauder bookcase, cut the backside of the shelves an inch and a half short (to clear the glass), use white foam for risers, tape lights for illumination, and glass door from a local glass shop, and you get this!!
Big and freestanding!
