What do you collect and why?

   Claus, I love your playroom. By the end of winter, I want a ceiling railroad in my office. It will be American Flyer S guage. I have 5 depression cars to pull 12 8070's and 3 7045's in 1/64 scale. I might have to pull a 6th one with 2 combines.

Don't know why, but I have gotten into AC cuff links and tie clasps. I have pocket knives that belonged to my grandfathers.

	I've seen some imppressive lists of AC equipment over the last couple days. It's got me thinking what do you collect and why? I could farm with just my 8050, 7060 and the 200 and loader and I wouldn't need any other tractor. What I started collecting are the square four 201 & 226 gas tractors. I loved the WD45 & D17s as a kid, nothing sounds quite like an AC four cylinder on a hard pull. So I have an unstyled and styled WC, WD and WD45 an early Series I D17, Series II D17 and a Series IV D17. I'd like to eventually have an unstyled and styled WF, a bar grill D17 and a Series III D17 and 170's & 175 gas. Some people think I'm nuts. Once when the styled WC, WD and WD45 were side by side at a show I was asked why I have three of the same tractors. Then there's the Massey Harris 44 I have that's just like the one Dad had and my D19 diesel, and the parts WC, and I'd kinda like a UC for no reason other than I think they're cool. Then there are the implements, for no good reason I wanted an Allcrop 72 and now I have one. I bought a nice 3pt AC blade even though I already had a heavy duty Kewanee 9' blade. Then I got a wild hair that all my antiques should have an appropriate plow, so now I have 8 (I think) plows... did I mention I'm a notill / conservation tillage farmer? I just got a snap coupler disc and I've been tempted to buy a roto baler more than once. And I've had an IH H and M and an 8N Ford and an SC Case, they've come an gone, but you never no what else may just show up some day. Hey where did all my shed space go?
