Where did the crossing flashers and crossing arms go?

I have finally up-packed all of my equipment, structures, rolling stock and scenery from
totes to begin final phases of our SAN DIEGO AND ARIZONA EASTERN HCD. The gnomes
or the black hole must have gotten the NJ International flasher and arms? I tore up the room
and dug through one big mess box and they were gone. Pulled of the old layout section in
May 09. But...There is a back-up, another set....I was OCD frustrated all night. Main St. in
El Centro will now be guarded. Now that I am short a set, Commerce St. will get cross bucks.

First sign of old age, much like a squirrel burying a nut, I forgot where I put them....

Chuck

What motive power use using for the SD&AE.  I remember from my Navy days wayback in the 70's seeing this road.  Didn't they use GE 70 tonners?

Somewhere
amongst my huge accumulation is a brand new Digitrax UT4R throttle that I still cannot find despite four specifically targeted searches...

Oddly enough, I've been looking for a missing set of NJI flashers/gates as well.  Mine are A frames with the black stripes.  Hmmmm.......

As many times as I have succumbed to the incessant OCD need to find something I still marvel at my ability to blow a couple hours trying to find something that is really inconsequential.

This gets weirder, I was in AZ packing to come back to California when I stowed
the gear. I am now missing the crossing gates, flasher, BLMA relay box for the
signal and (a partridge in a palm tree) One of my set of 3 palms. I must have been
libated and don't remember where I packed them.

That beats the situation where I haven't had a drink but still can't remember.....

It's official - Nowhere to be found, SP Timetable, flashers, arms, palm trees and relay box - Not in any box!

Sorry to hear that Chuck, but don't give up.  I lent a CD to my daughter years ago and we thought it was long gone.  Then she pulled a drawer out of her desk to sort it out and the CD was under the drawer.  How it got there likely defies the laws of physics, but you just never know.....

"I must have been libated and don't remember where I packed them."

They will be in the very last box you look in... you know, the one that is somewhere other than where it is suppose to be, like in the wrong room closet.

  Of course they will be in the last box he looks in.  If he finds them, why would he keep looking for them? :P

Here's the good thing...My daughter and her family are moving to
San Diego tomorrow and we have to pick up some more boxes
and stuff tonight...There are three totes that might be the culprit
that I can score tonight...Film at 11. (boy that's dated). You guys
are right, now that I think about it- When I took stuff off some
modules - they were the last things left...I pitched the wood and
foam and of course, I decimated the sections and took everything
off. I must have put them in another mystery box.
