A. Scared to count; and I ain't got near as many as some of you guys.

B. Some of it is in boxes in the garage; not lost, just not immediately at hand for counting.

All said, about ten things that run, including a Galloping Goose and Mr. and Mrs. Santa on a hand-car, and forty pieces of rolling stock, of which maybe five are in the barn for repair (mostly couplers}.

To wrap this post up, I'd say it ain't necessarily the quantity of your toys that makes you happy (although more seems to be better in most of our minds). Rather, it's the quality of play you have with whatever you got.

As for rolling stock, I have a weaver Albert city elev. car, a Lionel 3454? merchandise car, Sunco tank car, crane car, coal dump car, and a caboose.

I have about 80 pieces of prewar Lionel, AF, and Ives, and Marx- including about a dozen locomotives. Also have about 20 pieces of HO, mostly steam-era stock. Yup...there's no cure! But then, I used to hang out in pool halls...
