Hi mononguy63
You have a very bad case of model railroaditis there. Its incurable and there are no drugs to ease the symptoms.
But don't panic its not fatal doesn't hurt and is not contagious.
But you have to have some occupational therapy you must build a layout and read model railroad publications.
This may help with the uncontrollable urge to mutter incoherent number sequences like 0-4-0 2-8-0 2-6-0 etc
Please pay the receptionist on the way out
Seriously though I have never met a model railroad enthusiast who doesn't have to much stock of most of everything for his / her layout its one of the symptoms of the condition.
Erhm we will not mention the keeping every mag I have bought since 1973 or is it 1972.
the so called rubish the Evil domestic Authorities wants to get rid of

"One difference between pessimists and optimists is that while pessimists are more often right, optimists have far more fun."
While driving my son back to college last night, I directed my idle thoughts to making a mental inventory of my model railroad supplies. While the accounting was anything but exhaustive, the conclusion I drew was quite clear: I have enough stuff on hand to make a pretty fair layout. All I'd really need to complete the layout would be the odd bag of ground cover once in a whille and various odds and ends. I could even sell some stuff and still get there.
So why, then, do continue browsing Ebay and scanning though the various Yahoo groups, looking for some steal of a deal on which to spend cash I don't have for stuff I really don't need? What is it that afflicts us model railroaders that gives us an itch that only a new piece of rolling stock can scratch? Understand, I've put virtually no new capital into the hobby this calendar year, yet that hasn't stopped me from continually window shopping and dreaming of some big haul of locomotives that would make my engine roster larger than the prototype I model.
