Model Railroading > Murphy's law/ Black hole post belowDate: 01/31/15 06:55 Murphy's law/ Black hole post below Author: santafedan A comment was made in the Black Hole post about requiring high visibility products.
Well, here is a story. I misplaced my NMRA track gauge. I gave up looking for it and got another and painted it orange. Within a day I found the first one. I have not lost either since. Date: 01/31/15 07:45 Re: Murphy's law/ Black hole post below Author: calsubd LOL Yep that's it,

Later, when looking for another part that wanted to jump ship, I found it. Somehow got down between the carpet and the wall behind the desk.

I do some modeling over old orange shag carpet and I am truly amazed at how many dropped parts an screws I am able to find. Posted from Windows Phone OS 7 Date: 02/02/15 14:48 Re: Murphy's law/ Black hole post below Author: AZSP Inventory of items absorbed into black hole:

I've got about 4 of 'em now. I can only lay my hands on two. Painting is a good idea. Now, can we make them non-conductive?
