Locomotive roster.

 All diesel. '

Atlas:

-ATSF U23B

-CNJ rsd-4/5

-Susquehanna rs-1

-GP35

-GP30

-GP9

-H-15-44

Walthers:

-MILW C-liner

The rs-1 and rsd-5 will recieve one paint scheme, while the geeps will get another, and the H-15-44 a third. U23B and C-Liner will keep their paint b/c A) I weathered them already and B) I like the paint schemes.

Every time this thread comes up I post my latest acquisition. In this case it would be a pair of E7 A units painted for Milwaukee.  They are Walthers Proto-2000 made specifically for the Hiawatha set.

That is scary - that means I haven't purchased a single locomotive in over two months?  That might be a new record.

                                    --Randy

I probably have about 25-30 locomotives like these. Several are brass. Many are Proto2000 and BLI/PCM.  Without a current layout, I have nothing to do but watch ebay for bargains and prepare for my next layout.

 My locomotive roster is really small, as I have just started model railroading, US-style.

Here it is:

1 BLI Blueline UP USRA Light Mikado

1 BLI Blueline AT & SF 4-8-4

1 BLI UP TTT-6 Hybrid

There are some other locomotives in my collection that may be not so familiar in the US:

1 Maerklin DB E 94 (Electric) (German)

1 Maerklin SBB E 3/3 (Electric) (Swiss)

1 Maerklin SBB E 3/5 (Steam) (Swiss)

1 Brawa BLS Te 2/3 (Electric) (Swiss)

1 Bemo Saxonian IVk (Steam, Narrow Gauge)

1 Bemo (Saxonian Vk (Steam, Narrow Gauge)

Right now I don't have a whole lot of locomotives, but then again I'm living in an apartment and don't actually have any permenant track to run them on.

I've got:

2 Genesis SD70MACs, BNSF

1 Atlas C424, MNNR (needs to be lettered)

1 Athearn SD40-2, DME (needs to be lettered)

1 RPP SD9043, undecorated

1 trackmobile, demo paint scheme

1 MDC shay, no reporting marks

The SD70MACs and the trackmobile are the only ones that came prepainted, and they're also the only finished locomotives I have.  I should probably fix that.

I've also got a switcher scratchbuilding project that I'm working on, but that's got a while to go before it can actually run.

I'm betting I'll take the prize for smallest roster right now, since I'm just getting back into the hobby after a long absence, and all my old stuff was donated to a local club years ago. Right now, my roster stands at two:

(1) Proto 2000 E-6A, undecorated (destined to become Seaboard Coast Line No. 509)

(2) Athearn U33B No. 1733 (destined to become SCL U36B original No. 1776 -- this is the "bumblebee" scheme 1776, which operated for about 8 months in late 1970-early 1971 before being renumbered to make room on the roster for the red, white and blue 1776, which was built in 1971).

I'm in the process of acquiring detail parts for superdetailing these locomotives. I'll post before, during and after pictures when the projects are completed.

Also on order, and due in June, is a third loco:

(3) Broadway Limited Imports Blueline E-7A, undecorated. This will likely be the only locomotive I buy new. The rest will come from eBay, Yahoo's HO Yardsale and train shows and swap meets.

Finally, I have six Athearn U33B shells which I recently purchased on eBay for the princely sum of $12 (including shipping). Some of these may be cut up for kitbashing projects, but I plan to buy underframes, power trucks, cabs and A-line Athearn repowering kits for at least three of them to add to my SCL U36B roster.

Ultimately, I'm shooting for two to four passenger locomotives and 10-16 freight locomotives, all from SCL's roster circa late 1970.

I might be the only BN modeler who doesn't have any SD40-2s, C30-7s, or Gp38-2s.

It just so happens that I've been updating my inventory for an up comming train show.

 The first 4 are waiting to be re-painted for WC. One of the 1503's is waiting for a re-number.

 Well here it is so far:

1- Kato Rs-1 undecorater(was gm&o)

1- Atlas Rs-1 undecorated

2- athearn sw-7

1- bachmann 70 ton

1- ahm plymoth switcher

1- rivarossi berkshire steam

1- Ihc 2-6-0 mother hubbard

1- revell hudson

1- revell big boy

1- athearn motorized and decodered and lighted snowplow

1- ahm rs-2 turned into snow plow

1- ahm rs-2 turned into shop critter

2- atlas rs-1 shells and cabs no frame or trucks.  Used for scrap scene.

And that sums up the roster.  Always cruisen ebay for stuff.

Oh yeah a rivarossi heisler.  All are now dcc chiped and ready for the road that does not exist.

If your post was directed to me and my brass steam roster, you can click on the websites below my signature, a lot of them are there.

I have seen this type of thread pop up many times in the last several years.  Each time, I wished that I had pictures to post of my fleet of customized engines.  Well, this time I went to the basement and took some photos to share! 

Most of my engines are Athearn chassis and shells with can motors, NWSL wheels, Ernst slow speed gearing, and LokSound decoders.  Even the Spectrum 44 & 70 tonners have been tinkered with to improve performance. 

As you can see, some of these are still in the shop and waiting for decals and stripes.  Bachmann did me a favor in releasing those little tykes with the black & yellow paint job!
