Spectrum Steam Engines - Storage

[Yampa Bob]

I'm glad now that I bought the extra Connies, as they have been discontinued. So many times in my life I have sought a replacement for an item I really liked, only to find it's no longer available.  I think it's called "planned obsolescence".

I'm not what you would call a hoarder, but I do buy multiples of things I like. I may never use the stored Connies but they give me peace of mind.

Meanwhile I intend to run my fourth Connie until the wheels fall off, then repair it and run some more. I've already had the thing apart four times making modifications and improvements.

PN,
I stored my engines in their original boxes, in plastic containers.  The lids "Snap on" and will protect them from the extreme temps here. We also have a high humid climate.  I waited until the containers were on sale, and have extra (For more trains!).
