Most are packed away, but I "guess-timated" I've got around 800 (and most have to be built yet!)

I dont have any passenger consists yet, been saving to get a troop train together. I recently counted about 92 freight cars and my work bench has as of today 4 ore cars, 3 Grain hopper cars, 3 tank cars and two locomotives almost completed.

I also have about 30 more to be completed as time allows. The Train meet in Pine Bluff Arkansas at first saturday of April will have many oppertunities for me to add to the roster.

So far, I have 0 freight cars.

But that number should go up drastically in the next year [:D]

greatn,

I managed to design a 2x8 shelf that crammed over 34 cars and a switcher. I pitched it after realizing it is easy to bury the switcher. =)
