Shadow box for model railroad - FINISHED


Recommended Posts

As I’ve been reading many builds I see some of you are model railroaders as well.  I’ll keep this short and sweet.

 

i wanted some way to keep my railroad from getting dusty and also a better lighting system than just room lights.  I want to operate at “night time” as well.

 

 Here was my solution — a shadow box.IMG_0687.thumb.jpeg.5e7c7b8be1e8382d8405c94b882b19cf.jpeg

What’s kinda funny is that I’ve had the layout for a few years.  And decided to build a shadow box to put it in.  Both ends come off.  So if needed I can slide the layout in or out or even make another section with another shadow box and mate them together to make a larger layout.

 

i thought it was a neat idea
