I decided to create a spread sheet of my train collection... What do you think? I will add the car numbers and prices this weekend, but how does it look besides that? I hope you think it looks good ;)
I bet no one knows this is here...

This is awesome.

I want to do this for my LGB collection.

Is this on Google Docs or Excel?

That was done on Excel 2007... I only have the trial version though, from a PC apps class I took in college... It was only supposed to last six months and I downloaded it at the beginning of October which means that it should have run out at the beginning of April, but it has not :rolleyes:

I do not want to make another thread about this, so I will just have this make-shift poll, LOL... Which version of the spreadsheet do you like better, A, B, C, or D? If you compare them you can see what I changed between them... I simply can not decide which version looks better :dunno:

I like that you have a total savings column. I tried to use that to influence my wife on train items, but she told me in no uncertain terms that I'm not saving money by spending it -- do without!

Nobody has an opinion on which one of these looks the best? Arrg, I still can not make up my mind :confused:

I only have the trial version though, from a PC apps class I took in college... It was only supposed to last six months and I downloaded it at the beginning of October which means that it should have run out at the beginning of April, but it has not...

Wow, this was a very close call... My "trial" version expired this morning and I have a whole lot of assigments due tomorrow... Luckily the "ultimate steal" deal ends tonight, so I was still able to get the full version of Office 2007 for $73.00... Talk about living life on the edge ;)

Breaking news, there is other life out there on the forum! :laugh:

Thank you for answering, I was actually leaning towards B too, but then there is also choice C... Arrg, I hate not being able to make simple decisions :(

Okay, I think I have figured everything out... As you can see I colored the UP and ATSF roadnames, and I also have it set up so when I get any BN stuff it will be green and any BNSF stuff will be orange... I did this since these are my favorite modern roadnames and will probably consist of the majority of my freight...

Then I made a whole bunch of charts, and I will do the same for my locomotives as my collection grows... Oh yea, those numbers are not accurate, but it is not like you can't just do the math anyways ;)

So, anyone want me to make a spreadsheet for them? :)

EDIT: I also decided to link the item numbers to the online catalog, but I could only do it for the MTH cars because Lionel sucks, LOL...

To go along with my spreadsheet I have decided to print out all of the online item pages for the items that I own... Of course I organized them in a binder in the same order they are listed in the spreadsheet... Anyone else do stuff like this? LOL :D
