Do wire scraps and spiders count?????
😂😂😂😂
Wow! What a nice find. I have found rolling stock I didn’t remember buying but not a locomotive.
I sometimes kick myself for not buying Amazon stock when they first came out but then I think about all the companies I might have invested in that tanked. Makes me feel a lot better.
I kept a spreadsheet when I was doing train shows, but not anymore. Never tracked the usage or run time. Kinda takes the fun out of it for me.
I don't buy the high end stuff so if I buy a 2nd one of something it's not that big of a deal
Yes, I totally agree that a spread sheet would be very helpful, (Inventory) I must admit to simply being lazy to that much work, however, I do have the opposite problem, finding empty train car boxes and not finding the actual car belonging to them. I know they were probably sold to visitors to my home, but, I like to keep everything in order. Many folks really do not feel it necessary to keep the boxes, however I like to keep the original boxes for the train items. The reason I may have these extra boxes without the right cars is that I may have sold cars and mistakingly used the wrong box. Age has its issues. Either way, this neat thread has made me aware that it’s Time, inventory and spreadsheet is in order. I’ll begin this task next week. Happy Railroading Everyone

Mine is the lowly Lionel 6462 gondola in black, red and green. I always grab one when I see it because it looks nicer than the "one" I have, in reality they all look pretty much the same condition-wise.
