General Discussion (Model Railroader)

Almost all of mine are HO. I have close to 100 engines. I hardly know anything about them. I recently inherited them. I love trains but I am not very well educated on them. I have been looking around to find more info. Any suggestions?

edkowal:

I don't comprehend how you guys can possibly need the numbers of engines that you do. Some of you own more motive power that some Class 1 railroads. With a total mileage in the units, you have no need for that many engines. Most of them must be gathering dust.

Need?!  Need?!  What does "need" have to do with it .   BTW - At the moment my entire roster is in storage. Hopefully they are all well packed enough so that they are NOT gathering dust.

  You could post pictures of them and ask for people to identify them.  If they are diesels there is a book called "The Diesel Spotters Guide" that is most useful.   I have two copies, one on the reference desk and one in the car for use in the field.
