healey36, are the supplies you picked up for a specific project? Alfred Alfred, too many to list...it's an embarrassment really. I've got a couple of low-end sets that require some work before hopefully handing them off to young families that have requested my offer of a "free" train set. Then I've got a few postwar and MPC pieces that have recently fallen into my lap that require a a bit of work to get them back into top form. Worse, there's a mountain of prewar gear, ranging from three Flying Yankees, a 1098 set from 1926, a 252 that's locked up, a 226E that needs a few cosmetic repairs (a broken marker light, for one), a Flyer 301 set, and sadly on and on. I need to knuckle down and get this stuff done.

I found nothing I was looking for and nothing that I was looking for found me. Let me just leave it at that, only to say that it was all MTH tinplate of various gauges.
However for all of us wishing to restrain our purchases, may I suggest downloading on your phone the Dionne Warwick classic song "Walk on By' to play whenever the urge or temptation to buy something strikes. As to whether you heed your own advice shall remain between you and your wallet.
Dionne knows how to keep a secret.

A good amount to work on. Can you find the surface of your work bench? Enjoy - it's what the hobby is all avout. Thanks for looking after those young families. Alfred
