I'm not sure this is the correct forum for this but it isn't really trains but more like a new structure.
I was finally able to get my shelving up on my basement wall. It is re-cycled "TrainShelf" brand (I think) brown colored shelving. I have one row of Standard and the rest are O gauge. The majority of trains that will go on the shelfs are postwar Lionel with a little prewar.
I'm looking for ideas as to how to "populate" the shelving. As you can see from the pictures, they are quite long runs.
My dilema is that I have some sets, mostly passenger, including prewar Union Pacific M10000 in Yellow and Silver, postwar Canadian Pacific, Presidential, Santa Fe, and Congressional. However, on the postwar passenger cars, I also have separate ones that are not in sets. Does anyone have thoughts on how best to lay these out?
I also have most of the postwar freight, including all the 6464 series boxcars, gondola, tank cars, hoppers, etc. Would they look better kept together in a block type configuration going up and down in columns or should would they look better set up in a linear fashion along one row?
Any thoughts or pictures of your trains on shelves is appreciated.
