What is your roster?
Posted by RR Redneck on Saturday, September 16, 2006 5:29 PM

For me it is pretty much, if Lionel made it in a western paint scheme, I own it. How about you?

Let's see....
An LGB 2017 0-4-0 w/ power tender
An Aristo C-16 2-8-0 wearing a B'mann big Hauler cab
A B'mann Mining Mogul 2-6-0 wearing the C-16's cab
A heavily modified Lionel James the Red Engine 2-6-0
A heavily modified Lionel Thomas the tank engine 0-6-0T
A Holgate wooden Mr Roger's trolley w/ a Hartland motor block
A Lehmann Porter 0-4-0ST
An Accucraft Ida 0-4-0ST live steam
An On30 B'mann 0-4-0ST Porter converted to Gn15
An On30 B'mann 0-4-2ST Porter converted to Gn15
An On30 B'mann 2-6-0 mogul (actually WAS a Hawthorne Village one) converted to Gn15
My daughter has a B'mann "Hogwarts Express" that she says she'll break my fingers if I try converting to Gn15
And a 4-3/4" gauge coal fired live steam OS Engines 0-2-2 Stephenson's Rocket on top of the TV set (it actually belongs to a customer who hasn't picked it up yet.)

That's the lot, rather too many engines for a 5' x 8' tabletop loop, but I don't know which ones I'd actually WANT to part with.

Forgot my American Flyer (poor A.C.). Not much of a collection and all of it home in MI but I'll list it any way.

K5 (have two, one in good shape and the other, well, needs some, alot of work), Atlantic (plastic cab), Early Santa-Fe alco AandB(trying to track down replacment decals) A 4-6-2 locomotive.

I am sorry that I cannot remember a single number but I only dabble in AF and haven't seen these trains in well over a year. They are part of a grand scheme, however, for the massive board I will someday build combining O, S, HO in a forced perspective way.
