TRAIN DISPLAY SHELF CUSTOM CUTTING OPTION for SHELVES for HO, O or S scale train shelves or diecast shelves. Each whole shelf is sold separately and measures 48″ long X 3″ deep. This DISPLAY SHELF – CUSTOM CUT option means that if you want a shelf smaller than 48″, you order shelves, and we cut it down to size. This allows you to butt pieces together to span an area, or fit smaller shelves into small spaces. Choose this cut-shelf option and include measurements where you would like each shelf cut. We include all cut-offs 12 inches and longer.

MrTrain.com shelves are easy to install. You will need the following tools:
- An electric drill
- 3/16″ drill bits
- A Level
- Mounting Hardware
- Spacing Blocks
Spacing blocks should be as high as the distance between the shelves, generally between 5-1/2″ or 6″ for O gauge. Studs are usually located 16″ or 24″ apart on center. Electrical outlets are generally attached to the side of a stud, which is the easiest way to locate one. They may also be found with a magnetic stud finder.
Installation Instructions
Using the level, draw a line on the wall where you would like the bottom shelf to be located. Locate the studs along this line. Mark the stud spacing and transfer the marks to the back of the shelf. Using the 3/16″drill bit, drill holes in the shelf from the back.
Using the mounting hardware, install the shelf on the wall line once you have drilled holes through 1 inch lip to align to your wall studs. Attach to the wall by aligning holes to studs and screw directly in.
Once the bottom shelf is fastened, place the spacing blocks on the top of the rails, equal distance apart. Place the next shelf on top of the blocks and mark where each fastener hole is to be drilled. Remove the shelf, drill the holes in the shelf and in the studs and attach the second shelf.
Continue installing the shelving by using the spacing blocks until installation is complete.
