How many Locos do you have??

[ClinchValleySD40]

I just did an Excel list of all my locos and put a replacement value on each for the insurance company. I feel out of my chair when I saw the total, I sure hope the wife doesn't see it.

Three Spectrum 2-10-0 Decapods
One Spectrum 3-truck Shay
One Proto 2000 0-8-0 Switcher
Looking to buy an other one or two 2-8-0 or 2-10-0's, maybe a light Mike.

NOT ENOUGH!!!

I've got probably 8 diesels and three stemaers. The steamers are all broken down needing repairs.

I just got all my cars and engines out on the track. Once I get everything put together I'll need an F7B powered in UP to help pull a passenger consist, an F3B powered in ATSF to help pull another passsenger consist, another Proto 2000 SD-7 in D&RG to pull a string of ore cars, a dirty old switcher (ever see them clean?), and at least one large articulated just because. Maybe another SD40 to help out the one I have pull freight.

10 assorted GPs
8 assorted Alco diesels
5 switchers
10 F7s
and 3 steamers

My favorite is the NW J class. It's the most beautiful engine I ever seen.

Short answer, TOO MANY!
Literally, I have the S-3 doubled up with a dayliner.
2 SD40-2s just sit in the yard, and don't get me started on the shelved units!

That is also when I last attempted to count them. About 10 years ago I began an inventory for the insurance company. When I got to a certain number I got scared and stopped counting. Since then I've kept a yearly count in Excel, so it that doesn't seem too high.
So in that sense my roster is seven:

Broadway Limited 4-8-4 - Santa Fe #3757 (Favorite)
Broadway Limited E7 - Wabash
Atlas Trainmaster - NYC (going to re-paint shop)
Atlas SD24/6 - BN
Proto 2000 2-8-8-2 - NP
Athearn Genesis SD70 - BNSF Green Warbonnet (the only junk of the fleet)
Proto 2000 E6AB - Santa Fe

I have a lot of diesels, but only about 6 steamers. That is about to change though!

This monthly topic should be titled " I have more locos than you and that's all that matters"

[james saunders]

i got 2 because i had alot of modern diesels (about 10) and downsized cos i was moving back in time and nothing fitted the era so i got 2 p2k locos a S-3 and SW-9 but lookin to add another 2 or 3 p2k or atlas early geeps even though i only need one loco for my 4x8 layout but oh well cant help it can you

I have about 80, all but 7or 8 are steam. Most are assembled, but about 15 are still in kit form.

A local guy, (Detroit area) had almost a thousand engines the last time I saw his collection, about 10 years ago. [:O] No intention to build a layout, just one whole wall full of shelves with engines on them. Now that's a serious collector!!

I've been collecting for 40 years, about 2 a year average doesn't seem too excessive!!

Favorite, Oriental Limited PowerHouse series 2-4-4-2. Took me 15 years to find, but it was worth the wait!![:D]

[PennsyHoosier]

I have 32 locos.

Favorite steam: Pennsy K4s (just got a T1--uh oh)
Favorite electric: Pennsy GG1 (is there any other?)
Favorite diesel: Pere Marquette E7A (not a Pennsy!)

Sounds like someone I know in the Troy area, but he has a great layout (ops there tongiht). Tons and tons of locos, biggest collection I've ever seen.
