Spamkybird, I like your pics so much pal...and the shelves are perfect, I plan to have them like that soon.
I had and still have the remains of a lot of pre war tin, Lionel, Bing, AF, Marx and AF & Lionel standard gauge, all rescued from scarp boxes at shows mostly as has been said.
I also have tin building and a lot of post war Marx, Lionel and Flyer accessories and buildings.
I have two Bachman G sets and a lot of brass track, hundreds of sections of o 31 now lost to rust and mud a long with a dozen switches.
One 1950 Marx & Lionel combined layout I rehabbed and the list of cars and engines from every modern and fallen flag manufacture I can think of except Williams and Third rail.
Most of that is a junk pile of rusty muddy heart break but a lot isnt or at least beyond repair I hope.
It looks like at this point I would be driving much for the next 3 or 4 months so I will have plenty of time to work on it.
Some of my favorite items are 3 papermache tunnels all matching in 3 gauges from Flyer.
Others are a Marx Freight Station that was kit bashed so the trains will ride thru the middle and 3 super nice scratch built pieces an engineer form one of the chemical plants here made in the fifty's.
I have a pic og a fuel house.
The others are massive in size and are operational.
