I am looking for tools to help with inventorying sets. The ultimate would of course be a custom ap which lets one search a parts database somehow. I have checked out the various parts references, and all of them except Jim Hughes' Technica involve (...) (26 years ago, 21-Mar-99, to lugnet.admin.database)

|

Having just gone wild after exiting my dark ages, I have 50 sets, and am willing to do inventories and reviews. My priority for inventories would be the sets which are not previously inventoried, and starting with the smaller sets. With that said, (...) (26 years ago, 19-Mar-99, to lugnet.admin.database)

(...) 12v Trains is two words. All three (9, 4.5, 12) are.

Looking at the 'themes browse' page (URL), I notice both 4.5V Trains and 4.5v Trains. Was this intentional? The two links under 4.5V Trains don't match the years shown on the browse page. Likewise the first link under 4.5v Trains. Actually, for all (...) (26 years ago, 18-Mar-99, to lugnet.admin.database)

Joshua, your reorg is great. but can you break up 12V trains into two words so that a search using theme=trains finds them all instead of just 9V and 4.5V? (26 years ago, 18-Mar-99, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.admin.database)

OK, so it sounds like showing MSRP in US when it is not clear that the set was sold in the US or what the price was may not be a good idea... too uncertain, even if you did finesse the exchange rate question.
