This engine collecting lark is getting out of hand!
I can't believe I have all these and no models to put them in!!
I REALLY have to stop buying engines, or build a LOT of aircraft!

Yes, I really must get around to building one, though I hate to admit it, it is not my favourite design of Vic's.

Actually, if you slide that Black Widow over among those Tee Dee's and move that O.S. a little to the right...I figure you'll have room for at least four more Pee Wee's right there in front !

Well, at least I know I'm far from the worst afflicted by this unhealthy craving for engines!

I really like that clear plastic box the guy with the Thermal Hopper has there, I really need some way of storing and displaying other than the "Throw it in a drawer" system I use now!

Wilf,
Currently, I store all my engines in small plastic bags and keep them in my "fuel and tool" chest. Although I am running out of room in that little chest. Also have a few on models. My point is since you have those plastic bins for now just grab some suitably sized bags and store them in those to keep out dust and such.
Nice collection BTW.

I keep my 1/2a things in a flat plastic organizer. But I will have to remove all the tools/accessories, to make room for more engines!

You are probably referring to Dan Vincent. Dan makes (or made) boxes. I believe he made boxes for Arne Hinde for his famous reduced size replicas. If Dan still makes them, I'm sure he would provide you with some.

Re: This engine collecting lark is getting out of hand!
I was looking around and decided to count my engines today. I have ten, seven assorted Bees, including three BWs, a Babe, and other tankless .049s, a TD .051 , a TD and a Medallion .049. Not too bad for a non-collector. I want another Medallion. Got a pretty TD .051 for $32 this week on eBay.
