Ben, Since Texas homes don't have basements we do have problems storing
large quantities of parts for future projects. However, I also don't
like paying a mess of postage for just a few items, so my feelings are
to wait until I need a few things.
And I've got several projects open on my work bench that are slowly
making their way unto the layout. I'm going to do a bit of hand
painting on my GP-30's tonight--I need to add a little red to the MU
electrical boxes and some gray on the steps to the cab that would have
been a pain to mask when I was airbrushing a couple of weeks ago. I've
got most of the lettering done. This project has been years in the making.
Also some decals from LBR arrived a few days ago to letter a combine for
the C & N W--that went well except that I misplaced some additional
decals that were supposed to be stashed away that I can't seem to find.
Later tonight, I do plan on working on a UP caboose that has been
needing some decals also--Marker Lamp had made them for me maybe 12
years ago! I know what's the rush!
Next up is a certain N W caboose that's also way behind schedule-so
stirrups aren't on the horizon yet.

S Scale stands for 's'omeday I might want it and if I don't 's'eize
the moment it won't be there. I agree with Pieter - thus a basement
full of stuff much of which is a mystery to me.
