As above, with all stock in storage trays and organised into 34 rakes, covering a representative balance of train types from early and late crest periods. This has kept me disciplined when adding new stock. I have about 60 locos, enough to allocate an alternate loco to the larger rakes whilst still leaving a pool of spares.

The locos are also logged into JMRI Decoder Pro, which automatically records date last run and running hours (though not that reliably).

As well as the stock spreadsheet, I have a separate loco history spreadsheet, a tab for each loco, in which running time and maintenance is logged.

Thanks everyone I have managed to sort something in OpenOffice Calc. I have bought some paint pens so I can write the number on the stock itself underneath rather than labels. Thanks again. Keep Safe.
