I hate to keep talking about what Jack Verducci has to say but if you get the Kalmbach book "Garden railroads the Hobby" or similar he lays out what you need and except for a few that are just too expensive for a normal hobby person, they will all come in handy. A few we just don't have in Australia and i do not have any use for as well. Some things I get a lot of use out of are:- 1) A gutter getter this is a scoop for removing leaves from your gutters, cheap, works just great as a scoop mainly for crusher fines and gravel. 2) A jewellers blow torch and Resin cored solder, plus bakers fluid for extra flux. 3) A paint scraper 4) several types of spirit level, i also have a laser level as well. 5) A mattock and a crow bar you Americans call them something else i'm not sure a Boston digger and a pry bar (not sure though). 6) A shovel as opposed to a spade. 7) A strong helpful 15 year old lad. 8) A hacksaw and drill of some type. 9) A Warrior, this is cheap Dremel, very good but its attachments aren't so get Dremel tools. 10) A Jig saw (Sabre saw) and a circular saw on a bench. 11) A drill press. 12) 9 litre bucket I think it is about 2 gallons several in fact. 13) A good credit card with plenty of credit on it. 14) A stepping block with 10 mm steps and a 1 metre straight edge this will automatically give you the percentage of gradient. 15 ) A tamper this is not the pace in Florida "Tampa". 16) A bottle of the cheapest white vinegar available, this is great fro cleaning up brass so that you get a good electrical connection as it is nearly pur acetic acid. rgs ian Your idea of a tool box is far too large, much samaller with a few tools you use all the time is better and keep the ones you don't use so often in your garage in a handy spot.
