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. =)

[greatn]

How many freights can you put on a 4X8? I have 32 for my Everett and Monte Cristo RR. Happy Railroading and keep it fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In HO, I've got just over 500 frieght cars right now.

[Anonymous]

So far, I have 0 freight cars.

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

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.

N-scale: 6
HO: probably 10
O - 4

Until finances get better, I'm not going to have any more freight cars.

[CBQ_Guy]

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

[Anonymous]

Very few...a total of 11. I don't buy much freight rolling stock.

[Hawks05]

i'm in the same boat as you memsd. only i've been collecting since october. hopefully this friday my parents can go to the lumber yard while i'm at school and buy the wood for benchwork. saturday will hopefully be a build day then.

i can't wait till i can finally run my trains.

oh yeah had another 7 cars to my total after this weekends trip to the hobby shop.

[Anonymous]

um between100 and 200

[memsd]

I have 172 cars and 36 locos and no track. Yet. Been collecting cars and locos since '89. I have an Atlas track kit on order. The excitement to patience ratio is killing me.

Seventeen.

[Hawks05]

probably 25-30 or so. thats just a guess. probably lest more like 15-20. but you know, one can dream.

i plan on buying a lot of kits tomorrow at the LHS since the next show isn't until the first part of April and i don't get to the LHS to often. i hope to buy between 10-12 kits tomorrow. some stuff to start trying to weather and then buildings.
should be interesting watching my checking account get drained. good thing i get paid sunday.

[eastcoast]

I HAVE A JUMBLE AND A CLUSTER of about 70 at last count.
That number will change soon.

[Anonymous]

around 30 frieght. hey, with all you ppl with hundreds of cars and are willing to part... got any C&O with the Chessie signiture cat?

[IRONROOSTER]

In S scale I have between 50 and 75. I still have all my HO and O (just in case), some of which are getting to be collector's items. Truth is, I have more than I can use, but still keep buying them. I plan to rotate them on and off the layout.
Enjoy

I have approximately 300 freight cars, but only about ten of these have been "outshopped" ready for service, meaning that they have complete weathering, and meet standards for weight, and ride on Micro-Trains trucks & couplers. All the rest are awaiting their turn at the workbench, some needing major work (such as the hoppers I am kitbashing) and some just plain unsalvageable; I bought about two thirds of them while in high school and on a limited budget.

I keep buying more, but I reckon that this is just about the right number for my 15 ft. by 15 ft. shelf+peninsula layout.

[Anonymous]

Last time I counted I had maybe 80, but it's probably closer to 90 now.

[Anonymous]

about 40-50

[AggroJones]

Freight? About 200+. I lost count.

[Jetrock]

Al told, I have around 50-60...about one-third are my dad's old stuff, non-functional and sitting in a box, one-fourth are unbuilt kits sitting under the layout, and the remainder are generally funcitonal boxcars, a couple of gons, and the odd reefer or two. Some are marked for repair but most of the rolling stock is in good order.

I'm waiting on building the rest of the rolling stock until I have the layout space for it--only one-third of my layout is built and operating, and I'd rather have it sitting in boxes unbuilt than have completed kits knocking around on the shelf getting dusty and banged about...once there is sufficient yard space for them they can sit on the layout.

[Anonymous]

I've about 60 (ready build, weighted, weathered) and ~ 200 waiting to be build & finished. That's the US collection I'll use on the modular layout of our modeltrain club.

For my home layout (and collection), German railways from 1900 to 1945, there are 360 freight cars and 210 passenger cars available.

At last count, I have 532 freight cars and 26 passenger, with 4 more freight cars awaiting assembly. This includes about 10 cabeese (I think that's the plural of caboose).

[Anonymous]

A recent survey of my freight car fleet has revealed that I have 430 freight cars in my roster.
