Okay, this is a ripoff of Guilford Guy's "Let's see some of your work" threads on the Bach-man message board, but let's all post one pic of each locomotive we have in our roster. Steam, diesel or electric - any scale. Please list scale, manufacturer and model. Now, let the fun begin! I'll start...
HO Bachmann Spectrum 2-10-0 - Western Overland R.R. #2
HO Bachmann Spectrum 0-6-0T - Western Overland R.R. #1
HO Bachmann Spectrum 3-truck Shay - Western Overland R.R. #4
Uh-oh. Now you've started a 20 page thread. I'll make one contribution.
An Athearn RTR GN&O GP38-2 that I super-detailed. Great running engine but must be one of the last with the crew-frying headlight.
Atlas rs-32 with corrected headlights for SP and grabs installed all the way around.
Three shelves 3 tracks deep of stuff. Lots of old athearn , atlas , tyco , ahm units

This is me in the cab of one of my Aster Mikados.
edit: the locomotive is 1:32 scale... (but I'm not!)

Sorry, mine are HO.
Tom, Second Coming, well that's interesting way of putting it. I thought the LDS only put it that way. Well, I mean, that is how I say it.
Here's one of the few decent 'action' pix I have of my fav locos. Kato HO scale SD38-2 in Iron Belt garb.
-Ken in Maryland (B&O modeler, former CSX modeler)
These are all HO scale.
I am all for the Milwaukee Road.
A few of the locomotives at the engine facility. All of the U-boats are Atlas, and the GP38-2 behind the U25B is a Proto 2000.
Something you don't see everyday. This is my Bipolar. It is Overland quality but is made by NWSL. The locomotive runs very well and is in the shop for decals at the moment. My SW7 tugs it along to the shop.
And a little something out of the ordinary. This is my kitbashed Twin Cities & Western GP30C. It started out as an Athearn GP35 and has about two other shells spliced into it. Forming the Catepillar equipped loco.
Enjoy!!
Happy railroading

Without a doubt, #103 is my favorite engine.
#110, a rebuilt Cox GP20, is another favorite.
And my 70 tonners hold a special place in my heart, too.
The Cedar Branch & Western--The Hillbilly Line!
Here are my custom worked engines in HO.
This is a pic of one of my Hudson's that converted over to oil burners to run on the KVR. Coal is a bit scarce in Arizona compared to oil in those days. The 2 were purchased from New York Central back in the early 40's. With the war production picking up traffic, Kiva Valley was desperate for power and got lucky enough to find these. NYC had pulled them from service and were for sale. They were converted to oil as the KVR had oil on hand for Southern Pacific and Santa Fe. They both chugged on into the early 60's. One was rebuilt in 1990 and pulls seasonal trains into Kiva Valley from Phoenix. Also does a yearly Ski Train to take people up to Flagstaff. The other is still owned by KVR, but is has ben in storage since 1971.
A true work horse that is still going for the KVR. Originally purchased in 1954 from EMD as the first mainline desiel power. Still roams the tracks today of the KVR system. Been through 2 wrecks and 2 overhauls. Its not going anywhere. Several good men have started and retired thier careers in that cab.
This engine was the very first desiel locomotive purchased. Brought to the Valley in 1952. It has more or less spent its entire career in the yard. On occasion, it will wander out or be assigned to the Central District for local work. Not used as much today, but still sees plenty of work.
The family Roster. Also included is the a GE U-30. It was purchased from Santa Fe in 1981. At the time, it was ment to replace the SD 7. But things picked up and the KVR had the SD 7 rebuilt in 1984. Both are still used for main line runs heading south down to Phoenix and north to Flagstaff

“When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.” -- John Lennon
This is the half of my fleet that WORKS!
There are from left to right: Atlas U34CH NJ DOT 3371, Atlas ALP-44 NJT 4402, Atlas RS-1 Erie Lackawanna 1088, Spectrum F40PH NJT no # (yet), Rivarossi E8A NJT (can't remember #).
Would I model anything but HO? Well yes but not much!
I model N scale.
And I made a little handcar from scratch (thats my 12yr old son's hand)
I have many more loco's, but those are the best pics.
An Athearn GP38-2, Midland Gulf Railway. Standard DC.
Proto 2000 E6 in KCS white scheme. DCC equipped.
Athearn F7, KCS gray (in work). Standard DC.
Athearn F7, KCS white scheme. Standard DC.
MDC RS3, Santa Fe. Standard DC.

Bachmann GP35, Conrail. DCC equipped.
Proto 2000 SW1200, KCS gray (in work). Standard DC.
Athearn SD40-2, KCS 666. DCC equipped.
My favorite Loco's. A couple of HO Proto 2000 SW9/1200's that I painted and decaled. The strobe lights are both operational. These loco's have the NCE SW9 DCC circuit board installed and run beautifully. I also bought a Proto 2000 SW8 with sound that I plan to paint in the same livery.
A recent Paragon BLI purchase. The QSI sound is awesome. However it only runs OK. Not near as smooth as an Atlas or Kato. Too bad. I also added the Soo Line decals to it. Oh yea, the caboose is an old athearn that I painted and decaled as well.
This is my current favorate, HO scale Sectrum Consolidation, MEC 524
It has been modified per an MR article a couple of years ago with a new boiler tube pilot, bell and whistle relocated to the correct locations, modified cab roof, tender handrails, and MEC speed lettering decals. I still need to purchase the Sountrax decoder for it.
I have some others, but have not photographed them.

Alex,
I am not sure. Mine aslo came as a 3 pack. If I remember correctly, they are Like Like. Handy little tractors.
This is a good thread. Some fantastic locomotives.
HO Athearn Blue box Gp35. I don't use this one much. It doesn't fit my era.
HO Bachmann Spetrum 2-8-0. This one is my favorite
Mantua 4-6-2. In need of repairs. This one has sentimental value. It was my favorite when I was young.
I am still in the process of building my layout, but here are the two locomotives I have so far (both are N scale):
This is an Atlas EMD SD-60M
This is a Kato EMD E8 with a Con-Cor Dummy B Unit
Here is one of my locos. I'll have a SD80MAC in the same paint scheme early next week sometime. HO scale of course.
