Guilty as charged. I should make my intentions clearer with MY fmaily. Even
the lawyer that drew up my will (a friend of my wife's family) didn't know what
to do about my railway artefact collecttion. So he left it out.
This discussion has raised a few red flags, and hopefully not just to me.

Putting it in your will is the best way to make your wishes known.

How many of us have made it PERFECTLY CLEAR to our families what to do with
our stuff when the inevitable happens?
Even if I haven't designated where it goes, my wife and kids understand that
it all has (at least some) historical value and a happy home needs to be
found for it.

They may have "good reasons" for not sharing, but I think an awful lot gets
lost when descendants who have no connection with railways clear out
Grandfather's or Uncle's house. Tired furniture and dishes to the goodwill
store, a few obvious family relics kept, and everything else in the
dumpster.
