Lou, The Texas is very massive for sure! That looks like a great deal to me. I am the same as you, I like to keep mine out running.
I purposely didn't build shelves/storage space when I built my layout. That way I make sure I really want something before I buy it, otherwise it won't fit. Plus I save money, as I don't have to fill a bunch of empty shelves 😁.
I like your thinking

Thanks. Plus it's nice to know how much stuff I have simply by looking at my layout. I have 9 locomotives. That's plenty.

I like having enough to enjoy in my spare time. I have an old Ford Thunderbird. I wanted to get another one but realized early on I could have one nice car or two that were ok but never finished. I applied the same philosophy to trains. I can have a few nice pieces or a bunch of stuff that's just ok. The old adage of quality over quantity.
