When I’m not running my engines I like to put them in my house for show. Can anyone recommend or know of a person that can build a simple Acrylic rectangular cover? No wood base would be needed. Thanks for any help!

Jon, I've made enough lexan acrylic boxes to know piecing together a box will give you distracting joints were the panels join.
What you may want to look into is a source for a molded one-piece 5-sided box. The transition from side to top is nearly invisible. There are plenty of plastic forming companies out there. I'm sure with some diligent searching you'll find what you want.

Not sure of the source, but these things are available commercially. Really makes a difference for display models.

Jon, Plenty of guys on NK would know who sells cases. There was a big discussion there just recently. All you need is to find someone who would sell you the top only!
