You know, I am trying to do the same thing, inventory. It takes forever! I
think I have somewhere *around* 50,000 split between my old stuff at mom +
dads house and here at home. The problem for me is what are the proper names
of all the bricks? How do I inventory them so other people know what I mean?
Is there a general guide that tells you what to call an item so that other
people can recognize it, or do I have to create a decoder key? Can anybody
suggest something, please?
Can you believe that I have ZERO trains?
Thanks,
Aaron
