General Discussion (Model Railroader)

I've been selling down my engine collection over the past few years, consolidating and rationalizing my collection, so I might have missed a few that I still have, but from off the top of my head, my roster looks something like:

Life Like Heritage 0-6-0 x2
Life Like Heritage 0-8-0 x4
Life Like Heritage 2-8-4 x7
Athearn Genesis USRA light 2-8-2 x5
BLI USRA heavy 2-8-2 x3
BLI USRA light 2-8-2 x2
Bachmann Spectrum 2-8-0 x5
Bachmann Spectrum USRA heavy 4-8-2 x2
Bachmann Spectrum USRA light 2-10-2 x1
Bachmann Spectrum 2-10-0 x1
Bowser H-10 x1
Bowser USRA light 2-8-2 x1
Bowser K-11 4-6-2 x1
MDC 4-4-2 x1
MDC 2-8-0 x1
MDC 2-6-0 x1
MDC 0-6-0 x2
MDC 4-6-0 x1
Mantua 2-8-2 x6
Mantua 4-6-2 x3
"Mantua" kitbash 4-8-2 (was several engines)
Oriental Powerhouse USRA light 2-8-2 x4
Alco brass B-11 0-6-0 x1
NPP brass NKP L-1a 4-6-4 x1
Overland brass H-5 2-8-2 x2

Life Like P2K S-1 x1
Life Like P2K PA-1 x1
Life Like P1K F3a x2
BLI SW7 x2
Bachmann Spectrum 44 tonner x1

Sometime this year, I plan on adding another 4-8 engines to my roster, mostly Bachmann engines of older prototypes and the upcoming Athearn 4-4-0, as I'm assembling a fleet of older engines for occasional 1915 OP sessions.

I have two separate rosters: 1 for my current layout, and one for my future layout.

BN Roster (current 6x8 layout)

Athearn GP40
Athearn GP40


SP Roster (future layout)

Athearn GP40 SP
Athearn GP50 DRGW
Athearn SW1500 SP
Athearn RTR SD40 SP
Athearn RTR SD50 DRGW
Walthers Trainline B40-8W SSW
Walthers Trainline U-25B SP
Kato SD45 SP
Kato SD45 SP

Well past way too many and well on the way to "WHAT THE ***** ARE YOU THINKING" category of rosters. Besides you can never have too many locomotives, right???

My current roster is as follows
2 Kato AC440CW's
2 Atlas B23-7's
1 GE B30-7

Yes, when both the house, and the storage area at the club are overflowing, and then a complete fairly large storage unit hasno more space - You have too many locomotives....
