Can I install my train shelving on my own or do I need to hire a professional?
We have found the average handyman can install the shelving over a weekend with assistance from one addition person. See our instructions posted on the website for details.
I am building a new home. Can I have Freedom Train Shelving built in?
Yes. We would love to help design your track location and installation. Just contact us and we can work with you and your builder to ensure your ultimate satisfaction.
How long does an average installation take?
The installation of an average sized room will take a handyman and one helper a weekend to complete. There are a number of factors to consider, such as your room size and shape as well as how you plan on finishing your shelving, but we have found two, 6 to 8 hour days will have your shelving ready to accept your train track. See our instructions posted on the website for details.

How much weight will Freedom Train Shelving support?
Freedom Train Shelving is rated at 30 lb. Per linear foot, but has been "real-life" at significantly greater loads. This shelving will support all collectable trains manufactured.
Can I purchase this product locally?
Freedom Train Shelving is manufactured and shipped from Denver, Colorado. If you would like to place an order through your favorite hobby shop or train supplier, simply ask them to contact us.
Can I have multiple tracks on the same shelving?
Yes. On our standard shelving, it is also possible to run multiple HO and On30 trains on a single shelf. We also manufacture a 10 inch shelving which can hold multiple tracks for the larger scales (O and G).
How do I turn on my trains if they are suspended high on the wall?
If you do not use a remote control, it is possible to install a switch to turn your transformer off and on. We have used this method with great success, for installations in children's rooms.

We ship via UPS ground and your shipment should arrive within 2 weeks. Quicker methods are available at an additional fee. Simply let us know what you need and we will work with you.
