HO - O SCALE Locomotive Display Case - Unboxing the Display Gifts wall mount case

- It seems there is always more trains than space in the display case. This one is actually a shot glass display case from Display Gifts. With 12 shelves it holds a bunch of locomotives though!
We have 4 display cases, all made by Display Gifts. The two tall ones are actually shot glass display cases we bagged from eBay.
Super well made, AND it seems it can also hold O scale trains as every other shelf is removable. Not sure if it's deep enough for all O scale trains, its only 2.75 inches deep on the shelf. With all the shelves in its 12 two-foot shelves so it holds a lot of locomotives!
NOT we don't get paid to promote these!!
From Amazon:
Made from solid wood. Dimensions: 36.5" H X 25.5" W X 4"D Space between rows: 2.5" with all shelves in. 5.25" with one shelf removed. Interior Depth 2.75"
Metal brackets on back for wall mounting. 2 Weight support anchors included.
One single door gives it more advantage on better expoure, without the middle door frames blocking the objects.
No assembly, comes in one piece.
Felt interior background provides a lovely contrast display.
By chance, 2 weeks ago, as I was shopping for a wall display case, I found this video. On your recommendation, I bought one of the shot glass cases. I love it. It holds every one of my 30 HO locomotives. Quality case. Sturdy build. Good price. Quick shipping. Highly recommended. Thanks.
Glad you have a new case. Great video.
Hi thanks!!!
This is such a great idea! But now I am curious about the silver box next to the new one. Don't know if you have done a full shop tour showing off your different equipment and how you have everything setup, not just the trains, would be great. Y'all take care and be safe would hate to lose this channel. Love all your screwing around!
Need to do that. That’s a burn out oven for casting brass. Whole process. Next Sunday we are working on the railroad. And the week after casting parts for the railroad. And then laying switch tracks on the layout
A great video Ken,have you thought of tacking some track in the case for your brass rolling stock so if there is a bad shake they will ride out on the track without moving side to side
after all you do not want them leaning up against the glass,there to good to lose and so well made..many thanks for the video.
Paul A Fulcher hi. Yup. Looks better too. I assume in a shaker stuff will end up all over inside. This last one only knocked a few things on their side. But if it’s a good shake their will be stuff against the door making it tricky to open. Hopefully we will never know.
The Christmas Story movie and the infamous leg lamp LOL
I like cabinet makers hanger brackets better. Though requires a bit of wood working. We made a reverse wedge that allowed to hang the entire cabinet on the hanger rail. So you easily fasten the hanger rail, then the cabinet hangs on the rail. The hanger rail uses a 45 degree cut that slopes down back toward the wall. The cabinet has the matching rail which fits into the 45 degree cut. the cabinets weight holds it in the wedge. Then you can screw the cabinets into the rail. The border around the cabinet takes into account the extra 3/4 required for the rail.
Great system. Never used it but I can see where it is better
Glad to see a battery tender on the Mustang. Mine rides out the winter months with the hood just barely open like yours. Had mine out today... no place to go, so I just drove it around. Got me and it out of the house for a bit. Oh... the cases look nice. Back lighting them with LED bulbs would be a project, but would look cool.
One of the subscribers here on the channel sells this exact same case but with clear shelves in a mirrored back and LED lighting! They call them SF display. Try googling that
The Christmas Story I love that movie 🎅🧣 the scene when he open the box was is the best and also we can't forget the other line in the movie dont shoot your eye out.. lol thank you
Sean P Pickering The house that they filmed that in in Indiana or wherever it is I forget has been turned into a Christmas story museum and hotel! So you can go see the home and you can rent a room in the Bumpus’ home.
Nice display case. Never seen something like that here.
These are great! One of the subs here sells almost the same case. SF Display. Google it. Same case but mirror back and glass shelves and LED lighting. .
Nice looking cases!
Hi. One of the subs here also sells an advanced version of these! Same price. But mirror back and glass shelves and led lights. SF display. Google that.
I like the idea of repurposing an item that was designed for one use, shot glasses, and using it for something else, HO Brass Models. What a great way to be screwing around at the great shrine of "Screwing Around" Garagemahall
Hi. The shelves are really deep. I keep thinking that n scale could also go in there on risers at the back. Making it 24 shelves 2 feet wide!!
Looks great. Try putting the screws behind the slide in shelves so to hide the screw head.
Nice mounting..!! Keep safe👍👍❤️😎
Yup. You just never know. Is it a bird? A plane? NO EARTHQUAKE!!!!!!!
Toy Man Television we had a tremor here in Blackwood South Australia and my Daughter Anastasia saw it coming as the trees were shaking as it approached. Only a minor 4.7 Richter scale,only misplaced a few details on the house no real damage 👍😎
Thanks , The ones we sell are from a company called SF Display but are virtually the same. I love all the ones we have purchased here at home
Totally the same. Weird! More options. Lots more but I’ll bet the same manufacturer. In China? But exactly the same.
Ps. Super well made!!
So cool 😎! Thanks for sharing your garageMahal!
Thanks for watching! Lots more at garagemahall Sunday. And next Sunday. And for a while as we are stuck inside!
Awesome. Sounds like the song way you walk by papas Fritas in the background at the very beginning
I bought that piece from the musicians several years ago. That sounds sort of like that doesn’t it?
Ah ha first in... bingo! Great video... keep them coming.
Hi. Thanks! Now to unpack more trains and put away!
nice quake proof case ! thanks : )
Thanks. I hope is also virus proof as well.
Great video. Nice looking cases. I have toyed (no pun intended) to get display cases but we don’t have space on the walls.
We love these. But they do fill up your walls. If you have any space there in the first place.
Glad you mentioned your concerns and alternative to the hanging hardware. I'm trying to reduce my violations of taking the Lord's name in vain. They are beautiful and well priced for the quality. Now, all I need is the money and, .....the space. I don't believe property management will allow anything more on our walls. I certainly don't have any down stairs. Now I'm depressed.
God understands. If he made us in his own image he must have a mouth too. Now the wall problem....
great video liked 👍🚄🚂
Hi. Thanks. Love these cases! We put the HOn3 stuff in there yesterday. I want to see if any of Als cars will fit. Looks like they will.
no you did get a leg lamp . to hang it up try a french cleat
After the earthquake I’m going with bolted to the walls! And floor. And footings. I’m ready to bolt down the trees outside. Geeezzz
Great video and idea, although from just the looks of it, and my personal experience with shot glasses, I think "O" gauge trains would be too wide to fit and have the door close, and I'm the one dodo who models "O" gauge!
2 3/4 inch if it’s touching the back and the glass. So 19th century will mostly fit. And On30 and On3. But modern is misty to wide.
The shelves look really cool I do not trust included hardware in most things I make my own brackets. for safety sake screw 2x2 to the wall to take up any extra weight of the display cases just in cace it is amazing the stuff that we collect
Mostly I hate the sheet rock plastic anchors. But the whole idea is weak. I’m thinking the idea of shelf brackets at the bottom was an afterthought after a few of these came crashing down. So... problem solved.

When I was a kid (nerd) my friends and I strung wire through the trees between houses and “found” some dial phones and set up a private line between houses.

Hey Toy Man, are you ever going to do a Garage-Mahal Tour?
Yup. Sort of on Sunday. Looking at the layout.
Very nice! You might want to consider reinforcing the attachment to the wall. Frequently the back panels on cabinets are simply tacked in with a few staples and the panel material is a non-structural fiberboard. A long cleat under the base of the cabinet frame would take the load more reliably when the next one hits, or the brackets that were provided but they would probably be move visible. If you're planning for a 7.0+ you might also add a similar cleat up under the top frame. All those (beautiful!) engines will be pretty heavy, no? Thanks for all the great content!
Hi thanks! Fortunately on these the non removable shelves are also attached to the back. The first one used the shelf brackets it came with. I even hung it by the brackets. What I did was in fact just hang it as recommended. And really felt it was not strong so I added the grabbers into the studs. I’m thinking of adding the brackets to the new one. You really can’t see them. You hang them first and the case covers them. Only the bottom is exposed. They tell us a 7.0 will not happen. Or lest say here that’s a thousand year event. But 6.0 is common. Well a 30 year event.
@@ToyManTelevision Oh that's right, you guys are in Utah, I was thinking California for some reason, sorry... We can't wait to see more. Take care and stay well!
Never mind just found out
I was on eybay and there was a k-28 bumblebee on30 scale and I wanted it so bad but it was 900$ bucks and was no way I was getting in to that to that and it’s still there
There is a K28 Accucraft. Fir just over 2000. That’s a 5000 locomotive. But it’s missing parts. Including trailing truck. Tempting .
Suggestion: router out track impressions into those shelves to keep the models from sliding around inside the case. BillG
I did that on a case I built once. But I can do that to the removable shelves. Was thinking of putting thin track in there. Perhaps just rail glues in place.
How much is the display case
Time stamp 317 does the horn next to the railroad lantern work That would be cool to hook it up into an alarm system for the home
People may think Amtrak is arriving. Late. Weeks late. No matter it would get attention!
Hum.. we could hook it to the bell on the cross buck outside.
How much is the shelf
maybe try to find skyblue vilt on the back ground. it give more the sky texure and show up more the dark-type models i think?
We Healy like the one in green. So thinking of matching that on the other three. But a lighter color looks much better. But not white!
@@ToyManTelevision true every thing look better than white ;)
I also have to echo Mike Hubbard's comments about the backing being stapled to the frame. And the potential for failure.
Also what is that silver box under the lanterns? I hope it is not something that would generate enough heat to damage the soldier in a brass locomotive.
Anyway thanks again
Hi. Yup I’m thinking of adding the shelf brackets. But the case is monolithic. The non removable shelves are attached to the back. But some small risk of the screws pulling through the back. And washers would look nasty. The silver box is a burn out oven for casting brass. Heats to 2,000 degrees. I place the investment flasks in there. And burn out for about 6 hours. Melting and vaporizing the wax pattern. Then reduce the heat for a few hours. Then pour molten brass into the flask in a casting machine and spin. Then toss the whole thing in water. After boiling fir a few minutes you end up with brass parts. Or should I say did. Have not used it in about 25 years. Ralph G taught me how. Have you watched “scratch built and prototype brass locomotives with Ralph and Rosie. That’s how those were made. th-cam.com/video/mAKjLMn2nqE/w-d-xo.html
I have an HO layout that is 14 by 6 feet in an L shape an it is almost complete, anyway me an my dad built two scratch built train shelves and we built two of them! And I still dont have enough room!
N.A.W Railroad none of us ever have enough room for our trains it’s just a general rule. Because if you have more room like a fish in an aquarium you’ll just grow to fit it.
Hahaha, very true!
Hi ....cool looking cases!....is that a camero or mustang in the garage?....share!...thx!
Michael Furmanski a hint of fender
@@ToyManTelevision thx!...looks like a 69 camero!
At 0:36 what is the long UP locomotive? The lower one is a gas turbine I'm pretty sure but I've not an idea of the one above it. I wasn't able to find a video about it, maybe because I didn't look too hard. The same locomotives where in a full case, with one locomotive being a steam turbine; in another shot in either this video or another and I didn't know what some of those were either. If you have a video about the full case of those strange UP experimental locomotives that covers what all of them are, or multiple videos covering them; would you be so kind as to direct me to them? Thanks. Stay well. -Wil 👍
Hi. It’s the coal turbine. The worlds largest locomotive. We covered those in “what ever happened to the atomic train? But we are going to revisit as Bart of this series. Soon!!
th-cam.com/video/5u_h2MH92xg/w-d-xo.html
Do you have a saddle tank locomotive
Proteus Sir Handel hum... I’m not sure!! Don’t think so. Have had. But I don’t think I kept one.
I am into On30 and wonder if I should get a display case intended for HO or O scale.
By the way, I live 1.2 miles from that company Display Gifts in Wantagh, NY
This one would work great! With the shelves out. Exactly the right size. And that gives you 6 shelves two feet long.
I like the green felt background on the mahogany case. What color green is it? Where? Size? How did you adhere it? Thanks.
greenfish60 that’s the color that one came in. And the color we want to match in the others.
@@ToyManTelevision Can you point out the link to the cabinet order? Thanks.
Hay toyman I think I have to get one of the too. Right know there making us do online school and it dont make sense at all ( ;
One of the subs here sells the same case but clear shelves and mirror back. SF display. Google that.
@@ToyManTelevision ok cool thanks

Have you heard that they’ve turned the Christmas story house into a museum? I think it’s in like Terre Haute Indiana or something? The house next-door, the Bumpus’ house Is something of a bed and breakfast you can rent a room and stay there while touring the Christmas story house.
what year is your mustang
The blue one is a 1967. The white one a 2008.
