I know the feeling. I have a fleet of 6 Dash 9s/AC4400s which are, strictly speaking, too big for my 8x1 shelf layout. However, I like these locos and given I designed the layout to handle large locos and cars it's not a problem. I'm slowly building a fleet of 4-axle motive power that is probably more prototypical! In response to the post above, I too have a collection of promotional cars - every year since 1992 Hornby have produced a car in a commemorative paint scheme (usually has "Hornby" and the year printed on the side). I have all of these from 1992 to 2004, only missing the 1993 example. I also have some limited edition cars commissioned by my LHS. I'm also given to buying oddball items that don't really fit with anything else I have - Just ordered some reproduction Hornby O-Gauge stock made by the French company Hachette as part of a magazine - basically they offered a clockwork loco or car weekly with the magazine. I picked up a tanker while over there on holiday last year, now have a loco and a few more cars on the way. Anyone else find that they tend to buy items "on impulse" that don't really suit their chosen scale or setting?
