Whats your engine roster?

[Texas Zepher]

poorflick

Almost all of mine are HO. I have close to 100 engines. I hardly know anything about them. I recently inherited them. I love trains but I am not very well educated on them. I have been looking around to find more info. Any suggestions?

  You could post pictures of them and ask for people to identify them.  If they are diesels there is a book called "The Diesel Spotters Guide" that is most useful.   I have two copies, one on the reference desk and one in the car for use in the field.

I don't comprehend how you guys can possibly need the numbers of engines that you do. Some of you own more motive power that some Class 1 railroads. With a total mileage in the units, you have no need for that many engines. Most of them must be gathering dust.

Need?!  Need?!  What does "need" have to do with it .   BTW - At the moment my entire roster is in storage. Hopefully they are all well packed enough so that they are NOT gathering dust.

About 4 or 5 years ago I got fed up with maintaining a large fleet of mostly brass steam locos, and moved the era of my large, operation orientated freelance road from 1949 to 1965(ish). Since then I seem have acquired about 50% more diesels than I used have steamers..........

Ah well, so it goes, I've just moved and have got less space now but have it in one chunk rather than spread out over three basement rooms, so I may prune this list, but this is it as it is now. About half of these are serviceable and DCC equipped but not necessarily painted, the rest are works in progress.

If it is a Diesel-electric and NYC had it there is a 95% chanch I have it. As you can well imagin NYC had quite a few different diesel-electrics before their demise. I roster about 75 diesel electrics either painted in NYC, P&LE or D&MR. I also have 3 Niagras, 3 hudsons, 2 Mikados 2 0-6-0s, 2 0-8-0 and probably some I forgot. The ones I use on the layout is about 30 and most have sound.

Plus one rubber squeeze toy 0-6-0 my wife got me to put in the shower for some reason. She must think I like trains. It squirts water and is one of the Thomas the Tank engines---but I am not sure which one. I also have a smattering of O Scale (not Lionel) and some N scale, in assorted road names.

I have five steam engines, each a fairlyaccurate model of a prototype Maine two foot gauge steam locomotive. Only five, not fifteen, not fifty-five. Five.

I don't comprehend how you guys can possibly need the numbers of engines that you do. Some of you own more motive power that some Class 1 railroads. With a total mileage in the units, you have no need for that many engines. Most of them must be gathering dust.
