"I built this layout to create a purpose for my collecting habits."

Yes, I know the feeling. I have a small collection of old Danish glass milk bottles, in different volumes. Now that I have a genuine Danish milk bottle capping tool I can keep Australian milk in glass bottles in the refrigerator. Who knows, maybe one day milk in glass bottles will come back into ecological fashion.

Rather too many people just keep their model trains in the original manufacturer´s boxes (I am also prone to do that.)

Thanks for showing your layout.
