Bits Boxes

I'd report that burglary, the bloody mess they leave behind.

 

Mike.

How would he know if he'd been burgled?

How would he know if he'd been burgled?

 

It would be tidier if he was burgled again?

Please forgive this minor deviation off topic, the previous post made me think of this:

I use old Chinese take away containers.

 

 

After reading something here though, if I buy a new loco the blanking chip goes straight back in the box together with any detail parts I didn't fit.

 

If the box is packed away, I store the detail parts in small zip-lock type bags (only a few cm square), and in a plastic Chinese container.

 

 

Containers compose of:

 

DCC Chips

Motors

LED Things (LEDs + resistors)

Stay Alive Things (more resistors and things for home made stay alive construction).

Weights

People

Testers (rolling road and a little LED board to test track power)

Couplings (Kadee, replacement couplings)

Old Parts (I have about 4 little zip lock bags inside)

Track cleaning (A wagon and rubber live here)

 

... possibly more!

 

 

If it doesn't fit in the box, it doesn't get saved.

 

Smaller things, such as a load of blanking chips Hornby sent me, track pins, tiny screws... they're all stored in a little plastic box sort of thing that has individual dividers.
