On my computer - they are the right way up. I alao open the files of the pic's and saved them the right way up.

No matter what I did - those sat sideways her on the forum. What did you do to right them??

Gordon, I understand where you asre coming from as I too have had the exact same issue arise with my photos, any that were wrong I used Photos (Win10Pro x64) to open the photo, then click on the rotate button to rotate the photo correctly. It seems to work.

Anyways back on topic, here are two shelves I knocked up quickly to store the Queens and collectables. Sizing is simple enough 1800h x 930w x 300d from this (template essentially) I would like to rebuild in a nice wood, attach glass doors, so without further ado,

   
JRC Slotcar Shelves construction, beta testing and on then fly modifications

   
JRC Slotcar Shelves filled up

[Pepsikid51]

This shelving was constructed of 1/8" fiber board (actually the separator strips of hardwood floor packaging). Simple construction: Cut to length; Cut in Slots; Glue. First attempt was designed to be either a Desktop (Larger shelf on bottom) or could be hung on a wall (larger shelf on top or bottom). As constructed it has room to house 9 cars with cases (Not Carrera). The strength is incredible and sizing can be adjusted to just about anything, the best feature is the slim (depth) profile, 4" to 7". You can easily add a back or as I did cover the front as well. Currently my track backdrop houses 21 cars and a custom LED leader board, and I could open up 15 more cubicles if required. In the course of a weekend I got a super looking backdrop, eliminated car case clutter and the wife got a new floor.

We've been using tackle boxes for storage since about 1992.



Seems everyone in these parts uses tackle boxes...




It sure makes it easy to pack up and go to a slot car meet of some kind...



Stores cars real nice...



I also use one for my tools...




I use an acrylic box to do my pit work with...




Got this Jewelry display case for my collectable stuff I dont normally race...




These AFX pit boxes are also nice to display cars in...




You can find used tackle boxes on Craigslist and FB Marketplace...




So many cars...   So little time...

Tackle boxes would work fine for HO scale. Not so hot for 1/32 scale. 

Looks like NTX is a BIG Richard Petty fan though.

    I am currently switching over storing cars in old boxes like this



to plastic storage containers like this

[Zippideedooda]

The plastic containers are see through so I can find the cars on the shelves I want fast, and they are grouped together by the era they ran in and the type of class they ran in.

So one container has only 1950's era Grand Touring cars that competed at Mille Miglia, Targa Florio, Carrera Panamerica, etc.. Another container has 70's era Trans Am cars, and other containers have Le Mans Prototypes from the 80's and so on.

The containers are $5 US and well worth keeping the cars out of the dust and protected.

Nicwe collection of cars - my kinda era  

[KensRedZed]

I have very little space for totes or storage boxes. Two pine shelves were installed on the wall near the ceiling in my work shop (7-foot ceiling). The cars sit on white plastic pads to keep the tires off the shelf. It works for me.
