Hi People,
After years of collecting my trains and keeping them in boxes I have now the space to setup a display shelf to better enjoy them while not running. My only fear is that the attic where I will put them has two windows and plenty of sunlight, that makes me fear that if I do not do something, even if the trains will not get direct sunlight, their colors will start to fade with time (and I fear not too much time).
I'm planning buying a shelf with glass doors so dust will be more or less discarded as a big problem (I know those doors are not very tight anyways) but light can be. I even thought about putting some darkened glass instead, but not sure will help and also models will not be clearly seen though that.
Suggestions? How do you guys keep your models?
Thanks
Regards,
