Standard procedure for companies. Go do some homework on the comparison sites, you'll be fine.

Quote from: Papyrus on May 09, 2024, 02:54:35 PMI have to agree. Similarly, I appear to have acquired stuff that I have no knowledge of or need for. That continental bogie freight car, for instance. Why have I got that? I really need to get a grip...

Do you have a use for one of those, or might do in the future?

A grip just gives you more space to lose things in
(old fashioned expression for a bag for travelling that is smaller than a suitcase)

I generally have little difficulty in finding what I need - provided I haven't tidied up recently 

I sometimes find that my rolling stock has disappeared from my layout, only for it to miraculously re-appear well after I've given up looking for it.

And usually exactly where it should have been, creepy or what?

I have noticed that. A few weeks ago, I was doing a bit of tidying up and came across a plastic case. On opening it, I saw that it contained a new looking Black and Decker electric drill. "I don't remember putting that away" thinks I, turns round and saw my, not so new, B & D electric drill on the workbench!

I'm convinced there's a real Starship Enterprise up there that beams up bits just to have a bit of fun..... Stuff just disappears for months then turns up when they decide to give it back!
