Plans for making HO storage cabinets

[RobertInOntario]

Is it storage or displaying as its main function? If you have a ton of rolling stock and just need storage maybe you could find an old blueprint storage cabinet, it would work for HO and N size trains.

If storage and display is the goal you should be able to design one fairly easy.

If I were to do one using pine and plywood I would suggest useing good finish grade plywood for the back and some pine for the frame work but I would use an extruded aluminum shelves for the shelves such as Railrax or Snyders.

The railrax shelving is affordable and comes in many gauges and in combination gauges as well such as the HO/S combo shelf. Using this type setup will leave you with only the grooves to cut for the sliding doors.

Thanks. This sounds interesting as well. I'll check out these websites, especially the railrax option. Originally, I was looking for good storage options but now I like the idea of displaying them as well.
