Die cast
The 2 Cars in the enclosed car and the 6 cars on the open car transporter are Hot Wheels, 1/64th scale. The cars on the flatcar are a New Ray early 50's and the C7 is made by a company called Spark. They are both 1/32nd scale. I bought them all on e-Bay. I custom made the decals for the flatcar, loco and tender on my Alps printer. I also made a car carrier with 4 red C7's and added it to my 2 Lionel Corvette sets. I used 1/32nd scale Maisto cars on it. Made the decals for it as well. I can post a picture of the red car transporter as well if anyone is interested.

Love it!
You hit on two of my passions....model railroading and Corvettes! I'm modeling in N scale....built a 5' x 13' layout of one of those plans featured in the Kalmbach 101 plans book.
Your work looks very well done and you got the right color too!

Wall
We recently added onto our house and we had this room built. It is 22 feet long and 12 feet wide. We put shelves the entire length of the room. I have collected Lionel trains for many years and had them in boxes in storage. I wanted to get them out and display them. I also have my jukebox and slot machines in the room as well. Thanks for the kind words. Kind of my man cave but my wife loves the room as well.

Layout
^^^ Actually I don't have a layout in the room. That is where I keep and display them. I am actually having a 40 x 40 foot building being built on the rear of my property and that will house my layout. Should be done in a couple months.
