My world has just changed! Up to now my '50 ish Great Northern consisted of:
4-unit Stewart FT Freight
2-unit Stewart FT Pass A-B Empire Builder
2 proto 2000 GP 7
2 proto 2000 SD9
2 EMD Switchers
1 Baldwin Switcher
Bachman F7 A-B
But! Now I just got a BroadwayLimited E-7 Empire Builder and all the rest is in need of conversion...without sound it just doesn't cut it any more. Sound makes for realistic operation. I can hardly wait to get my next unit. I've created a monster! Now if I just had money! tholcapn Port Townsend, WA

Im just starting, so im pretty happy with it! (from earliest to latest)

Atlas S-4 Chessie (first and most loved)
Yugoslav Century 630 US Army (in shop for conversion to 5-pole motor and Chessie scheme)
LifeLike GP-38-2 Chessie (didnt run, so i disabled the drive wheels - makes a good dummy)
Athern GP-40-2 Conrial (runs beautifully)
Atlas AEM-7 Acela (phase V - smoothest engine i own)
Tyco Century 630 ICG (also converting and repainting)
Mehano Mogul Santa Fe (repaint to be NYCentral or C&O)

at the moment my railroad doesnt function enough to have three, much less two, of these functioning at any one time. but im almost done! hmm, how to expand it.... [:D][:p]

Proto 2000 Heritage 0-6-0 switcher if I can find one, CB&Q
Genesis, BLI, or other 2-8-2 Mikado CB&Q

And I thought my 'wishlist' of engines was long...geeesh. Some of you 'take the cake' with your already acquired engines.
As for me, I have 2, both Bachamnn Spectrum's
1 - F7A - SF ( which I want to get rid of (only ran 2 times over the past 2 yrs I've had it))
1 - GP-40 - Alaska.
Reason for wanting to rid myself of the F7A - not in my modeling period/plans.
Anyone have a need for it, let me know.....

Hunter - When we met in January of 2000, you were just a 6 week old pup who walked his way into this heart of mine as the only runt in the litter who would come over to me. And today, I sit here and tell you I am sorry we had to put you down. It was the best thing for you and also the right thing to do. May you now rest in peace and comfort. Love, Dad. 8 June 2010

I love you and miss you Mom. Say hi to everyone up there for me. Rest in peace and comfort. Love, John. 29 March 2017

I really don't believe some of the items listed..
Most just a wide mixture of old units (some junk) that most would have got rid of years ago...
Quantity not quality???????

It would take me awhile to compile a complete list (I might do it one of these days), but right now my "pride & joys" are some Kato SD90MACs I had custom painted for the now-defunct Washington Central shortline. They turned out great. But, most of my fleet is Athearn "foreign" power.
