I have almost everything but N and Z (too small). I have a large amount of contemporary HO (most of which has been bought used) and a large layout to run it on (plus lots of shevles because the layout won't hold it all). I buy a great deal of HO, but am not sure if I would really consider myself an HO "collector". I do collect certain vintage HO/OO, however. I am an avid collector of Tri-ang and have a layout devoted exclusively to Tri-ang. I also have other vintage HO trains such as Marklin, Distler and Flieshmann from the 50's and Japanese tinplate HO trains from the 60's. The Japanese used to be on the Tri-ang layout as well, but as I got more Tri-ang I left the layout for that. I am also a collector of prewar and postwar O and S gauge tinplate trains and have Lionel, American Flyer and Marx as well as European companies like Bing, Bub, Hornby and more too numerous to mention. I have a mix of all of these O and S gauge trains on one large tinplate style layout with vintage accessories as well as shelves for the rest that won't fit on the layout. I also have one Lionel Standard Gauge set that I just got for my birthday, but don't have any track for it to run on yet. In addition I have some of those cheap G scale battery operated trains (many bought used as well) that I have displayed along the tops of the O gauge shelves, which get run very seldom. I'd buy the good G scale stuff, but I much rather spend the money that it costs to buy them on collectable vintage trains. The entire basement's packed with trains and I'm only 17 right now, so I consider that to be pretty good!
