I have several and I am sure more than I can think of at this time.  A couple of turbines (PW), several 2025s, 2026s, 2037s, SW1s, and a couple of FMs.  The 2025s and 2026s are for projects that I plan.  Also, I have a couple that I got because I just forgot that I had one just like it in a closet, or under the layout.  One day, I will make a list of everything, but then, I would be afraid my wife would see it.

There were two companion articles, titled "Doublehead those steamers!", on page 86 of the January, 1999, CTT on how to add front couplers in ways that did not permanently alter the locomotives.

Thanks, Bob. I purchased that issue for that very purpose, however, I thought  the solutions possibly beyond my capabilities, and additionally, I was unsure of their esthetic appeal. I would prevfer something which would switch out the stock cowcatcher for one with an integral coupler. Can't some nich mfgr offer something like that?

Just curious how many people have several of the same type of engine?

Could be just differnt cab numbers or different manufacters (Lionel, WBB, MTH, etc)

Are any of those your favorite Locomotive? Is that why you have multiples of it?

Thanks!

Guilty as charged, I have two AF 312's, 1 SIT, 1 SIB. I also have two 293's, one I had to buy because it had taken a nose dive and had a bent cow catcher.  A little patience, and I was able to straighten it without breaking anything.  I also have singles of the 336, 342AC, a 360-365 diesel, and a Franklin 88. Now if i can just build a layout large enough to use them all!
