A shelf for Utrainia

My workbench is coming along nicely, with the addition of a display shelf today.

Nocked up fairly quickly out of some MDF and pine trim, it makes a nice back to my desk and will stop things disappearing down the gap between my square desk and the not-square walls.

After my adventures with Hammerite, I decided to paint this with some very cheap dark grey test-pot-paint, and then went over it with a can of cheap satin black spray paint. It looked pretty rough at the time, but now that it's dried I quite the effect.

Once inside I bunged a couple of screws in at the corners into some joists and dug out my Kato Unitrack. The 30mm pine is just the right size for the Unitrack to sit on, and then it was time to populate it. For now I've decided on a mix of Japanese and US passenger trains, with the top shelf an odds-and-sods mix.

My only concern now is... did I make it hight enough???
