I'm strictly a Lionel Prewar guy.  I don't have many, but I love ‘em all...

Steam Engines:   259e and 258 (early version)

Electric Locomotives:  248 (2), 253, 254, and 256

Here's a link to my website roster:  http://tinplaterr.homestead.com/MyRoster.html

Motive power is pretty limited right now; just two Lionel diesels--a PRR 44-Ton for passenger service, and an RS-3 (NYC) for hauling freight. Both locos have matching cabooses, Lionel for the NYC and RMT for the PRR 44T.

My future plans include a second RS-3 (has to match the current model for double-heading), a Lionel 0-6-0T, and possibly a Williams BL-2. For a yard switcher I'm considering either a Lionel 1-B-1 industrial critter or maybe an RMT 'Beep'. I understand RMT is coming out with a shorty S-4 'Bang'. In addition, I'm looking to get one or two RMT 'Buddy' RDCs.

As for my rolling stock, all passenger equipment is MTH Rail King (O-27) except for the head end cars. I have a 2-car PRR set and a 4-car MILW. Head end cars include two K-Line 'piggy bank' express boxcars and a limited run MTH reefer for the Wichita Toy Train Club (WTTC 2006).

Freight cars are half Lionel and half Atlas Industrial Rail. I have 3 boxcars (including 1 hi-cube), 2 bulkhead flats, 2 logging flat cars, 1 gondola, 1 hopper, and 3 tank cars. I also have a couple of shorty ore cars and a Weaver hopper that's out of service (trucks are no good). Hopefully, within the year or two, I will have doubled this.

My Roster is all PRR, with two exceptions:

        K-line Mikado TMCC

        K-line K4 Pacific Postwar TMCC

        K-line A-5 TMCC

        K-Line RS-3 Hammer Head TMCC

        Lionel Consolidation TMCC

        Atlas RS-1 TMCC

        Williams Brass Mikado

        Williams F-7 ABA

        MTH RailKing K4 Pacific - not operating

        MTH Railking SW-9 (pulls my track cleaning car)

        MTH Railking Nabisco GS-4 (forgot about this one until now)

        K-line NW Switcher

        Lionel FA-1 AA

        Lionel 2-6-2 2224  

    Lately I only run the TMCC engines. I do run the Williams stuff at the Toys 4 Totes train show in Bethlehem as they take a beating and keep on ticking. The rest of my stuff is seldom used and stays in storage. Also been toying with the idea of adding some Reading and Western Maryland. Plus I have a pre-order in on Lionel non powered RS-11 (PRR).

I don't have a "Roster" yet.  I think that so far it only counts as an "R".

I like mid-atlantic and southern passenger trains.  But there will also be an "Empire Builder" at some point in time.

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.
