Scott,
Some time back you posted pictures of display shelves that you had build out of 2x4s. I would like to do the same thing. Could you please repost those pictures and any construction hints?
Thanks,
Chris

Chris,
Not to butt in, but...
I use 3/4" pine, thought you might be interested... costs about $15 in wood from HD for an 8' length.
I use a table saw to cut the dado and track grooves. Upright is 2.5" hi, shelf is 3.5" wide.
Screws into wall at studs... very solid

Now that the Kentucky game is at the half I can answer this thread.
Eddie,
Your shelf looks nice.
Chris,
I have several types of shelving I use. I think you are referring to the ones that are the 2 by 4's stacked on top of my bookcases.
The side view will give you a better idea how they are made.
The 2 by 4's are stacked and screwed together, with additional 2 by 4's placed vertically to stabilize the shelves.

I must say the amount of N&W and Virginian engines you have is obscene.
Hopefully one day I will be as obscene as you LOL.
Maybe one day you can write the " Honey I don't know where that O scale engine came from". Compendium.
It'd be interesting reading.

Scott - that was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
Ed - that is a nice shelf as well.
