Or maybe, if you are a collector of Aquarium Cars, just how many are there...
Here's a quick peek...
1.
It's so simple to produce a report. Just click on the Print Report menu bar, and open the Print MI Report
Select window. Then highlight the report you're after.
2.
The reports are driven from the information You provided... so for example,
do You store your items in Set Boxes
or in larger storage boxes? MI Trains handles
that with a special place to record the information and a supporting report!
Below is one of the cars in Lionel's 75th Anniversary Set #1585. It's the
Lionel 75th Anniversary Famous Catalogs Box Car, and as You can see, it's stored in the 1585
Set Box.
When you produce the Box Report, note all the items in that set box:
3.
Below we've entered some parts information for this
Lionel 726 Berkshire, as detailed within the "Parts
Needed" Tab. And we've included some information about the engine cab on the "Comments" Tab.
Both the Parts and Comments detail will appear on the
"Parts Report" . Brilliant!
Don't spend time at a Train Show waiting for a Parts Supplier to get to your order.
Print the "Parts Report" take it with you to the Show, and
hand it to him. Pick up your order later. Or send the Parts Report to him to fill your order.
4.
When you go to Train Shows, print the
"Wish List Report". You know... a list of those items
you REALLY want and wish you had, to either upgrade a piece you have or simply to add a
piece you don't have. Just click on the "Wish List" indicator, and use the comments
field as a reminder to you of actions, or facts, or maybe your strategy on negotiating
for the item.
For example: I'm after a Lionel 2341 Jersey Central Post War Fairbanks-Morse
(what lover of Lionel Post War isn't...). Anyway, I use the "Add to Wish List" indicator to
highlight the item, and put in special
reminder notes to myself - "Maximum willing to pay is $1,800 with box".
And that's the way it will be listed in the "Wish List Report". It's that simple!
5.
Do you also sell your items? There's a Sales Information Tab, ready for you to record
all the information you want... when you have sold the item, what was your asking price,
what was the actual price you received, and more...
