How Not To Lose Train Parts
If you drop screws and parts on the floor you’re not the only one. The problem with working on a loco or the electrical system is that as we get older the parts seem to get smaller. Here is a simple solution to stop those small part dropping on the floor or you might even want to store some parts using this method. Like anything, it is not perfect, but it is an idea that could work for many in the hobby.
Get some 3 inch wide masking tape. Simply fold an inch or so back onto itself. This will provide a non sticky area for you to write or label the parts. You then stick the screws and/or parts to the masking tape. You then have a low-cost device to stop parts rolling onto the floor or you could use it as a storage system or small parts.

i do find that annoying when that happens, i use these small containers you get from the automotive shops for holding screws and stuff, they have a magnet in the bottom to stop things running away
