Title: Display case needed
Post by: pape_timmo on September 04, 2020, 05:41:26 PM
Afternoon folks.

As you are all the font of all knowledge, would anyone know please where I can get a display case, either off the shelf (so to speak) or made to order, to house a Bachmann OO gauge Class 166 Turbo, 3 car.

It's needed fairly urgently, for a presentation.

Many thanks,

Cheers, Timmo

Picture Pride?

The nearest in their standard range is the "Big Boy" but I suspect that will only take 2 of the 3 cars.

They do custom sizes to order, but not sure how long that might take...

Have you got a rough idea of the dimensions needed?  That might help with suggestions.

Firms like Sora or Train-Safe may have something

Thanks for this, at a guess I'd say probably about 3ft long, but I don't have the model, it's a friend who needs it and has the model. I'll have a look.

Thanks again.

Thank you, I'll get in touch and see what they can do.
