that would be the beriev a...
you will need a proper display cabinet to house the locomotives... bookcases are not deep enough unless you intend to display them in profile. problem with profile display is that you cannot arrange them parallel so yeah, plastic casing for stacking them upwards would've been ideal. but as you say... cost factor. sadly, getting a plastic casing that size would almost cost as much as the model itself. so they're still in their blister packs for now...
haha
the radar plane is beriev a
i just manage to squeeze in my bookcases
the side that face outside / the side that i can see from glass is the side with the name
so when i look at it, the front of the locomotive is pointing to my left
and yeah, if there's more than one locomotive and put it this way, one locomotive will be behind of another locomotive and cannot see those locomotive at the back...
maybe it can help a little if u raise the train at behind one slightly higher, make it something like staircase
or maybe turn the train a bit (around 45°)
but this way still need a big space because longer size for this locomotives collection...
probably best way is stack them up (just like the tanks
), but with this size, the casing not cheap...
i think so far, all the locomotive base is same size, right? only the locomotive size different...
maybe DIY some supports so one locomotive can stack on top of another locomotive
