What's your locomotive roster?
Posted by Anonymous on Monday, December 29, 2003 12:39 AM
I just wanted to know what everybody's loco roster was. Mine is:

HO scale

1 Bachmann SD45 (UP)
1 Model Power Pacific 4-6-2 (SF)
1 Walthers F40 (Surfliner)
1 Walthers P42 (NMRA)
2 Athearn SD40's (BN and BNSF)
2 Athearn Dash-9's (BNSF)
1 Athearn F59 (Amtrak California)
2 Athearn SD40T-2's (SPSF)
1 Athearn SD45 (SPSF)
2 Athearn GP38-2's (Santa Fe)
1 Athearn FM Trainmaster (SP)
1 Athearn SW1500 (RI)
and a Athearn Genisis Santa Fe ABBA set coming soon

N+Z scales

1 Life Like E8 (Amtrak N scale)
1 Marklin 0-6-0 (Z scale)

I didn't realize I had this much[:0]. My roster looks confusing with all the roadnames and it is[%-)]. I stated out with a layout that was in the mid 80's SFSP style but got more modern so I switched to modern day BNSF Trains. Today I had to dismantle all my railroads because of a move two years ago and got a late start on the future HO layout[sigh]. Now I'm buying a ton of more stuff around the era of the 50's and 60's. That's the way life goes I guess[8)].

Hi all,

It looks like the guy with the most toys wins.[;)][}:)][:D][:D]

For my 2m (large scale) layout I have

2 RhB Ge6/6' (LGB)
1 RhB Ge2/4 (LGB)
1 Steamer which will get bashed into a proto G3/4 (Mogul)

That's all so far[:0][:0][:)] But I do have a realistic ratio engines to rolling stock; 39 cars for 4 engines.

My current roster is not the most varied but is quite accurate. It is mostly Florida East Coast with a few NS units for run through service.
NS - 4 GP-60's Life-Like
FEC - 4 GP-40's backdated Athearn
FEC - 9 GP-40-2's Athearn
FEC - 5 GP-40-3's rebuilt Athearn
FEC - 6 GP-38-2's Athearn
FEC - 8 SD-40-2's Athearn
NS - 2 C-44-9's Athearn still in the shops
Now if I can get back out of the armchair I can build some rolling stock for these ponies to pull!

N scale:

3 B23-7s
2 GP40s
2 GP38s
2 GP7s
1 GP9
and 2 SW1200s. Most need painting into the North Texas Central paint scheme--basically the Mopac scheme with red replacing the blue and a Lone Star shield re placing the Screaming Eagle on the cab.
