I am looking at buy the Amtrak model, and not sure if they don't come with the "base"/wheels?
You may find it on ebay'sDoes anyone know of a "display" case/box that a person can buy? I don't have a model track, but want to put this in something to protect it.
Thanks! I have a gift card for Amazon, and I looked there and they do have them.. I may wait till I get the P40 in then I can be sure I have the right size case.You may find it on ebay'sDoes anyone know of a "display" case/box that a person can buy?

Home, Outdoors & Decor => Toys & Hobbies => Model RR, Trains => HO Scale
category, and search for "case". You'll find plenty of them.
Check out walthers.com for a nice selection of cars to go with your engine if you want to make your own version of a "Museum Train."
Cool! I was just at that layout last night! Northern Virginia Model Railroaders are a nice bunch.

Do a Web search for Model Train Display or pick up one of the Model Railroading magazines and you will find ads for custom builders. Several years ago I had a very nice wall mounted case built to house my Circus World Museum Train and the builder even matched the colors I requested and slotted the display decks so I didn't need to use track. Each tier has its own sliding Plexiglass panel to keep dust out. You should be able to get a nice custom built unit but I highly recommend making it larger than the current consist in case he adds on.Display Cases: my son needs to display his HO L&N train: E6, baggage, 2 coaches, troop kitchen car, troop sleeper. I looked at ebay but there doesn't seem to be anything readily availble as a clear display case that would hold a train as opposed to one engine or one car.
I've seen such cases at the Amtrak 40th anniversary train, as well as in musuems. i'm willing to pay, but don't want to spend an arm and a leg.
Thoughts?
