Yeah, that's not working for me either. One blessing I thought in coming back to "S" scale was the time it would take to locate the locos and rolling stock I would need. I figured it would take many, many months or years to acquite what I needed.
That doesn't appear to be the case this time around as I've found almost everything I need in locos and rolling stock in only a few short months. I actually have more than I need in some locos and once I sort through it, some will be excess and go back on the market. So, now I not only have a lot of O scale to sell but S scale as well.
But, I'm a buy/sell junky and love the hunt. I find it hard to say no to a really good deal once I find it. And, there's been what I consider to be some really good deals out there lately. At least compared to my experiences 10 years ago.
Fortunately, I have no other hobbies or vices so my wife is all for my hobby.......most of the time. Sadly, workig 50-60 hours a week, there's little time or energy to do much else but search and acquire.
But, at least the "S" boxes take up considerably less space in the closet than the O scale stuff.
