Here is an approximation of my Roster and rail

I have Grargraves track in G, O, and S and a small unfinished loop of N scale Oh yeah also have Bachman HO/On30 track

G  gauge I have 3 battery powered sets(steamers) and a stock car,a tank car and two hoppers

I like lionel starter sets I have two A C&O flyer set and a Newyork Flyer(Jcpenny)with whistle tender

Other O gauge I have a Lionel construction set not worth bringing home as it was a very low end set with a loco that has no reverse capability and two yellow gondolas was a good concept but it fell short of value, the K-line construction set is a better deal(will have to keep an eye out for one) I have a tailend postwar texas specail"set" 211 loco A&B a horse transport car, a gondola and two tank cars and a caboose. A k-line CNW switcher set, A k-line KCC(kennacot copper corp) mp-15, a K-line GG1 and matching passenger cars, k-line redcross 3 passenger car set some k-line golden state passenger cars and two many misc. k-line cars to list. Two Beeps Conrail and Chessie, a bunch of marx locos including two windup and a battery operated loco and misc cars. And Mycurrent favorite an MTH Buckeye Express train set.

S gauger A 350 Royal Blue, a casey jones loco, a seaboard switcher, a Putt trains deisel switcher set, an American models B&O passenger set, a American flyer Mikado B&O passenger set and about a dozen or so cars old and current production.

On the layout right now: a Marx #21 tin litho Santa Fe F3, powered and dummy units. And a couple of Marx tin litho KCS diesels. I was born in Kansas City so I like KCS, and the KCS Southern Belle scheme on the Marx diesels is gorgeous.

A couple carloads full. Do I need more? no. Do I want more? of corse. I got to build up accessories and equipment for the extrordanary layout I will someday build. Problem is that while I should be buying rolling stock and accesssories, I buy more engines. Can't pass up the engines. I think I will soon have more engines than freight cars.

I have two Lionel Atlantics - the low end 2-4-2 made of plastic from 1954 and 1972 and one diecast 4-4-2 which is only two or three years old and my latest engine is the Lionel Docksider.

I have three coaches, two green and one red one with a rounded end these came with the diecast loco in a Disney set.

I also have a Lionel tipping coal wagon, an MTH flat car with two pickup trucks and a K-Line gondola and an old Lionel caboose.

I'd like a boxcar and a stock car and a tank car to make up a full service goods train and thats all I'll need unless or until I get a proper permanent layout as against spending two hours to set it all up on the floor only to have to disassemble it all in too short a time.

I'd also like to have a complete collection of Christmas themed rolling stock, I particularly like that Naughty and Nice twin tipping wagon, we could generate some real tension with that one on the Day!

However - Lionel are you listening? - I've ordered two Hogwarts sets and I would much prefer to have an all English Lionel layout with short 4 wheel trucks and decent coaches like the Gresley teak ones for example. If I could build a nice all English layout in O gauge 3 rail, Lionel could sell me quite a lot more stuff than I'd otherwise be willing to get.

Its not that I don't like North American railroad rolling stock but its not what I grew up with, it all looks sort of foreign to me but I can't afford Ace trains or Bassett Lowke stuff and anyway I've grown rather fond of my Lionel trains but British outline Lionel would be the best of both worlds and I know I'd be unable to resist buying it if it was available.

Of course if Hornby gets back into O gauge at reasonable prices all the bets are off!
