Display stand for 9mm scale N track model trains

thingiverse

Display for those trains you always planned to create a model rail road for, but never had the space, time, money e.t.c. Put them on display :) Designed for 3 layers, but should not be hard to extend to more. The project started with two questions 1. Can I create (as in: am I capable of creating) a vase-mode model. 2. Can I put my trains on display but reduce the amount of dust they will collect. The result, a 23cm half-open tunnel-like structure, in which N-gauge tracks fit perfectly, trains can be shown with pantograph(s) extended, full model seen from the side. the 23cm is specifically chosen for a double-length straight track (Fleischmann) is 22.2cm, and with a coupler on both ends, the full length is 23 cm :) I did not consider when chaining 6 (as I did) the full track length would not be the same as the full gallery length. Sorry ;) See photos for my display. My entire collection (it's modest) save 2 cars for the Eurostar and 1 german DB passenger car is displayed.
