This has been floating around in my head for a while, so I figured I would ask those who have large collections... Do you insure your trains? Like I am a beginner yet I have more that $1,000 worth of stuff, almost what I paid for my car, LOL...

I think I should insure my stuff in the future, but I just wanted to see what others do :)

This has crossed my mind more and more... I can't put up any specifics since this is a public forum but it's enough to make me seriously consider it.

I'm going to see who will insure around here.. and what the deal is.

Homeowners policies can be adjusted for it, ours is. Just take lots of pictures...

If I had enough worth insuring I might do it. Even if I did though, I am not worried about it. None of the dopers around here know I even have a train set. Plus there is to much stuff that is quicker and easier to steal and trade for dope before they would even get near where I have it set up.
I have been broken into and robbed a couple of times.
What worries me is fire and water damage. I have that covered due to past disasters. :(

Yea, I was not really thinking theft either, but definatly fire... I would not be happy with a smoldering hunk of plastic :(

My first set was ruined in a fire. :eek: I managed to salvage some scraps. They are only worth a reminder to me that fire is very real and devistating.
