I have a diverse roster - no dupes. I do have different series/versions of GPs & SDs but I dont think that counts. Hmm, does F3 AA count as a dupe?

I have PRR turbines from Lionel's Postwar Era, the 681 and 2020. I also have 3 Lionel Chessie System GP-30s (1 Legacy, 1 TMCC, 1 dummy). I also have a set of B&O Sharks made by Williams in an A-B-B-A configuration.

Other than that... I can't think of any other duplicates in my stable.

I have a pair of 2353 Santa fe F3s and a 2343 set if that counts. I bought the 2353s a while ago but at a garage sale, the 2343s were so cheap I couldent resist.

Personally, I'd rather broaden than replicate.  I have been tempted to acquire more cosmetically perfect replacements for a couple of my postwar but came to realize that for me the nostalgia of how/when the engines secured their battle scars over the decades was important to me.

How many of you have multiples of your engines?

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!
