How Many Athearn Cars do you have?

[AggroJones]

Some where between 160-180. I haven't looked back to count exactly how many.

Almost twenty. For a long time they made up the bulk of my rolling stock. Now it's a pretty even number of Athearn, Walthers and MDC kits.

97 Athearn cars out of a roster of 398 freight cars. Only 2 of those Athearn are RTR and I wi***hey someday offer the same detail quality in kit form.

About 30 or 40.

I've got over 500 pieces of rolling stock from many different manufacturers, including Athearn. I'm not sure how many of them are Athearn, though.

Not as many as I had - I'd guess fewer than 20 out of a "fleet" of 60ish.

Last year I sold off around 60 cars in a purge of cars that didn't fit my road anymore, and a lot of older Athearn stuff went in that. Fergus, if you bought used stuff from Jack at the Truro or Dartmouth shows in the last year, you probably have something from my fleet! [:)]

While many standard Athearn models have been surpassed by later releases, they're still a great value. I kept most of the modern 50' boxcars I had, and recently got more of the PS5344 with wire grabirons, and what they label as the "Railbox" boxcar. I watch for their other modern 50' boxcars used for various projects.

I've got more than a few Athearn cars. Mainly because when I started in HO I couldn't afford anything else, now I'm on the look-out for the last few specific cars to complete my fleet - especially a 5-unit double stack car (the blue box kit version, not the megabucks RTR version!). Hoping to pick up another set or two of Impacks - they seem to be planning another production run this year judging by the Walthers website.

For a company who produced what some might consider a low end product I am guessing many of us have a considerable number of Athearn cars running our rails. I'm still counting!
