Just getting back into the hobby after selling all my stuff a few years ago... very small roster right now!

AMD-103 Amtrak Phase 5 #134 - Athearn
AMD-103 Amtrak Phase 5 #204 - Athearn
Acela Express (set) - Bachmann Spectrum

On order:

GG1 Pennsy Brunswick Green - Broadway Limited (can't wait for this!)

Next up will be some sort of steam - I'm modeling more or less a modern era (giving myself some fantasy leeway) so probably only get one or two... hoping I can still find a BL J1E Hudson by the time I'm ready.

I have modeled N.Y.C. steam for at least 25 years,as the manufactures keep improving thier product,I keep up gradeing my roster[I cant afford to do that too often with brass].
I now have more super-detailed,re-powerd,decoder equipped engines than I could ever run...or display .It's a expensive '' HABIT".

Broadway Limited NYC 4-6-4 Hudson / Of course w/QSI Sound

Too many to list, but my favorite engine is the EMD E-8. I have about six of 'em. One will make (reverse) history when I repaint it from Amtrak to Pennsy livery. Other units I am partial to and own are the: F-7 and F-9, GP-30 and GP35, SD - 7 and SD-9. I also enjoy my 2-8-8-2 with DCC and Sound (oh, sorry. I am bragging now.) and my 2 Mountains. However, I would never think of limiting myself to such a small fleet. I like and want them all. Good Question. Thanks.....

I model the Reading in HO, so naturally, these are all Reading:

3 Proto GP-7's
1 Proto S1
1 Stewart DR4-4-10
1 Stewart F7 AB

I have numerous old Tyco and AHM from when I was a kid, also an ATT/Hornby Rocket that was my grandfather's. I think that one may be impossible to convert to DCC

The Rivendell & Midland has four locomotives and one interurban car.

2-8-0 (scratchbuilt, Live steam)
2-4-4-2 (scratchbuilt, Live steam)
14 ton Shay (scratchbuilt, Live steam)
25 Ton Climax (modified Bachman, Battery powered)
Steam Streetcar (scratchbuilt, Live steam)

With the exception of the Climax, this has been the core roster of locomotives in five incarnations of the railroad through reuilds, relocations, and gauge/scale changes. The rirst three were HO standard, current is 1:20.3 live steam. The operating concept and basic roster of the railroad has not changed substantially in 20+ years of modeling.

Plus a few more steam and diesel yet to be put into service.

Steam a mix of Genesis, Spectrum and P2K, diesel Atlas, Kato and Spectrum, no Athearn so they should be easy to figure which is which.

For those of you who have too many locos and say you are going to thin them out, how are you going to decide what to keep? If you are like me , its really tough.
