I've read all kinds of negative nonsense about Enlighten's locos and rolling stock sets, but by and large they are good value for money and do the job just fine.

This is interesting, think I might take the plunge and grab one then just to see. Thanks for the info.

I have every Enlighten Train set they offer and think they are all great additions to any train set up my favorites would be:
EN-631 Heavy Duty Steam Locomotive
EN-630 Heavy Duty Freight Locomotive
EN-629 Heavy Duty Passenger Locomotive
EN-627 Steam Locomotive
They also have a great Dining Car ( caboose)EN-636
only problem i seem to have is most of the wheels are stiff, but i use some silicone spray to loosen them up & it works great

I just offered the seller $14 for the black steam train (New/sealed and shipping is free). It's listed at $19 so lets see what happens...

I came across a 5 drawer mobile Storage Cabinet and have taking the liberty of buying one for the purpose of storing my loose bricks and other parts.

Someone needs to explain the new process of hosting an image hence I am baffled to why its being changed which therefore halts me from posting an image of it legosad

Anyway it beats anything else that I have seen at this stage and makes my life easier when trying to find a part for a project legohappy

Where did you get this from? It sounds interesting.

Well it seems that my shelves are not working out like I hoped so I am now looking for a cupboard to store my sets in. Has anybody tried something like this and have any feedback on them?

i'd go the IKEA direction.. and think ahead. buy something large enought for expansion and you wont have to constantly find a solution. i use GORM shelving, which can be expanded when required

I have just added a post to my blog on how I sort and store my parts collection with photos.

I went for Liatorp from Ikea. It suits the aesthetics of the house, is mildly more sturdy than run of the mill Ikea products, although it is pricey and fiddly to assemble.

I have just published a blog post about a new carry case I purchased today for storing my spare LEGO pieces, it might be interesting for others who are looking to do the same:

$10 each or so

I have just published a blog post on a new carry case system I have started to use, this seems to be good for "LEGO Technic" storage.

As shown by this snapshot I have began to sort my ever growing large part inventory into a more convenient way of keeping it together for upcoming future building sessions.

During the past five years I have fallen into bad habits of putting a lot of my inventory everywhere which has seen parts become quite dirty over time causing the loss of valuable time in building.

Cleaning isn't one of my favourite pastimes so as soon as I found these containers priced at $2.34 each at Shiploads I happily parted with some cash to buy plenty to get started on making life easier for myself legohappy

Good move FreeSpirit. They are the ones that I use; including the 2 larger sizes.
