Do you want to display your stock or just store it safely. £62.50 is a lot of cash to store a few trains. If you're looking at storage only take a look at http://stores.ebay.co.uk/JBs-Model-World (http://stores.ebay.co.uk/JBs-Model-World)

They are excellent,but be careful when assembling them not to over tighten the little tapered retaining pegs.(don`t ask me how I know!)

How do you get in about things?
I'd want my stock sat on lengths of track. Some form of cassette system where you have a separate bit you can place over the top so you can lift a whole section of track off in one go extract what you want then put the rest back.

They look quite good on the wall, and it is even acceptable to the higher authority in this house!  The front lifts off allowing access to the shelves.

Just nabbed my 2 big cabinets from our local Lidl in Eltham today (got the white ones). They've got a big pile of both colours and the smaller ones in stock.
