What is your train roster?

[stubbsO]

I didn't want to do this but, you asked for it!

Engines-Prewar  #156 4-4-4, #256

 Postwar 2-#520's box locos,#601,#611,#623,#681,#1818 Switchers, 2 sets #2023-silver,yellow w/dummies,#2343F-3 w/dummies,#2350 EP-5,#8056,#8950 Geeps,#50 gangcar,custom paint F-3 C&NW

 Rolling Stock-

Let's just say that I have 48 postwar cars, and 18 Prewar cars.

I won't even go into accessiores!

[thor]

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!

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.

This post comes up every so often

Oh, I didnt know. I have never seen one.

No problem there it will just take a few posts before many will volenteer info like that

I started out Collecting American Flyer then modern S gauge and then accumulated a lot of O  gauge stuff and now am experimenting with On30.......so many choices so little time

what is funny about topics like this is they well say not this again but will post to it anyway

Remember to always have fun with your trains they were meant to be run

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.

This post comes up every so often

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.

[magicman710]

What engines, cars, accessories, and track do you have? My roster consists of a k-line switcher, B&O frieght set with accossiated cars and engines, a pennsy flyer set, and a few K-line cars. My track is lionel and k-line tubular, as well a fastrack.
