| Why Lista? |
“At my company we have a wide variety of Lista products. [ProMotor Engineering builds engines for NASCAR Nextel Cup teams – past clients have included Ricky Rudd, Geoff Bodine and Richard Petty.] So I knew about Lista products' versatility, durability and modularity, which were just what I needed in my home shop.” |
| Why Model Trains |
"I've always been interested in trains, and had a Lionel set as a boy. I got away from the hobby, but came back to it about 10 years ago. The core of my collection is my boyhood set, but I also add pieces through word-of-mouth, friends, shows, and different organizations. All of my trains are vintage late-1940's through mid-50's models." |

"I use my workbench to repair the trains – tearing them apart, diagnosing them, fixing them and refurbishing them. I also build scenery at the bench. I love the stainless steel bench top – you can clean up spills (even epoxies) very easily, and they don't stain. The Lista drawers are great. I can store all kinds of repair parts, and I can reconfigure them as needed to hold the parts I have at any given time. They conform to whatever I need them to be." |

"Right now, I'm rebuilding the whole layout. It will be multi-tiered, with tunnels and bridges. And of course, there will be a village and a train yard." |
| Peter Speaks |
"When I built my new home, I built a room especially for my train hobby. I had purchased Lista cabinets for my business because I like to invest in high quality merchandise that not only looks attractive but is very functional and lasts a long time. I knew I wanted Lista for my new train room for those same reasons." |
