About 85, but that will change after the train show on Saturday, I am sure I will pick up at least a few more.

I have exactly 0. I had a few in the past, but because of space problems i sold them all. Today i only collect engines and passenger cars. I have no layout, so its not a problem to have no freight cars.

Too many! I just cataloged all of mine, preparing to create car cards for operations. I've got 534 built and ready to go, 83 plastic kits (mostly Branchline Blueprint 40' boxes) and 62 resin kits, for a grand total of 679 cars. I've also got a box of 50 or so in the "for sale" pile.

After deducting the requisite Caboose and passenger cars 'bout 735. And that is too many! I am taking about 50 of them to a train show in Bowling Green, KY this weekend to turn them back into a bit of money to buy newer ones.
