I would like to be fair to my fellow members and ask that those of you who have
collective resources give reasons for it, as well as how you overcame challenges
such as storage, access to parts, etc... Basically, I would like you to try
convince me to do it.


With our train club there are a lot of elements such as base plates,road plates
and such that I wouldn't use in my personal collection (not in such large
quanities) but is needed for large public layouts. So we use club funds that we
get from some of the shows we do to pay for such items, as well as pay for club
items such as tables, banners, posters and other show items.

As for storage we lable everything and keep it all in one place between shows.
For the past few years it's all lived in a spot in my garage and kept seperate
from my personal collection. Now it all lives in the trailer I purchased.

(...) Thanks for the quick reply. I guess the next question in that train of thought is how do you acquire club finds? Jude (21 years ago, 29-Oct-03, to lugnet.org)
