seeseerider Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Good Afternoon All, Can anyone please recommend a UK based retailer of suitable glass display cabinets - that can handle the weight of 1 gauge and O gauge models? I suppose I am looking for an all glass multi-shelf cabinet at least 1 Meter in width to allow up to 1 gauge 1 coach. My stock level is getting to the point where I can’t keep it all on my very small layouts, and I’d love to be able to at least display it all nicely off layout. What do you all use? kind regards, Thomas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simond Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I have two Ikea “Billy” cabinets with glass doors, which have lasted well over 15 years. They are not a metre wide however, only 80 cms. atb simon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-UnitMad Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Try Picture Pride Displays.? https://www.picture-pride-displays.co.uk/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Sasquatch Posted September 10, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 10, 2019 Having built several custom display cabinets for collectors, modelers and retailers I would offer my services. Alas now I live over here and think the shipping would cost trice the outlay for the materials and work. However before you go out and buy cheep off the peg cabinets, try getting a quote from a local cabinet maker and source the glass yourself. You might be pleasantly surprised!

seeseerider Posted September 10, 2019 Author Share Posted September 10, 2019 Thank you guys for the recommendations. I was hoping to not have to commission cabinets myself. I think I’ll look into ‚Picture Pride Displays‘. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Adrian Stevenson Posted September 10, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 10, 2019 Having see Picture Pride's products at Stafford Show, I must admit I would go for them if I was in the market for a display cabinet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrel Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Lidl well display cases in December, there is a thread on here about them. The good thing is they are only £60 but massive and solid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Ian Morgan Posted September 11, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 11, 2019 (edited) I got one from LIDL the Christmas before last, so hopefully it will be an annual thing. Very good quality, locking with a key and very nice price. Also very heavy to carry home. Edited September 11, 2019 by Ian Morgan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
