I am not going to post all my roster here, there are around 200 diesels and 2 steam.  If you are that interested visit my website for the roster.

The largest group of one model I have is 14 Atlas GP38, all Santa Fe of course.

Next is 13 U23B from Atlas

and 12 GP 35 from Kato.

12 locos total, but only duplicates are 2-F9's and 2 B23-7's.
I'm sure there's some duplicate GP-38's in my future though.Wink [;)]

I have 4 SD45s, soon to become 7-9 SD45s, 1 SD35 (only one WC had), 1 GP40 (soon to be 2), 1 SD40 (only one WC had), and 1 SW1500. The reson why I have so many SD45s, is because almost 70% or more of WC locomotive fleet was SD45s! I hope to add a SD40-2, F45, FP45, GP38-2, GP35, and a GP30 to my fleet. But that won't be untill later.

I have 3 AC4400's, and 13 pairs (mostly Athern Smile [:)]BB powered/dummy combos) of various GP, SD, & U models, 4 F dupes, but most of my other 75 or so are 1 of a kinds.  When I start converting the BB's to DCC, the dummys will hold the speakers & they will be semi-permantly coupled.  That was not the intention when I started collecting the BB's 40 or so years ago - but it makes sense now!

I have 5 freight locos I own, none matching. (U23B, SDP35, GP35, C40-8W) plus a few locos I don't own, (Acela Express, GP30, GE 70-tonner, SW7)

If I had more than just money scaped together from random jobs to fund the railroad, my roster might make more sense....(most shortlines wouldn't buy a mix of 4 axles, 6 axles, GEs, EMDs, etc...Laugh [(-D])

At this point in time I  have duplicates of my steam engines. 

Smaller steam branchline engines - three or four of each -4-4-0, 4-6-0 and 2-8-0's

Larger Mainline steam engines - 2 of each - 2-8-2, 2-10-2 and 2-6-6-2's

Switch engines I have 2 - 0-6-0's, 2 - 0-8-0 and 2 tank engines -0-6-0

I think that I definitely may have acquired a few more than necessary

The Railroad I model only had 7 locos at Time of Death, 1 RS3, 4 RS3m's, 1 RS11, and 1 RS11M, thus I buy accordingly Smile [:)]

Just over three years into the hobby, I have 12 different engines from five different roads.  I like certain engines, so their prototype company is not important to me.  I enjoy the Pennsy, NYC, UP, C&O, N&W, and CPR, with the first two being my early major concentrations. 

I must admit, it would be very appealing to have three NYC Mikes in the yard at a time, or a couple of the C&O H-8 Allegheny articulated, but I can't really afford to indulge myself that way.  Maybe in years to come, but right now I enjoy each engine type when I run it.

sfrailfan: 

Well, not 12, but I do have some brass steam duplicates on my Rio Grande Yuba River Sub--

2 M-64 4-8-4's

2 M-78 3-cylinder 4-8-2's

3 M-75 4-8-2's

2 L-105 4-6-6-4's

2 L-131 2-8-8-2's

3 Missabe M-4 2-8-8-4's

Not incredibly large duplications of each class, but enough to keep me happy Tongue [:P]

how many of the same model loco do you.....
Posted by sfrailfan on Sunday, April 20, 2008 2:56 PM

I've been hearing about guys who have 16 or so SD 70s ect.... A guy in our club has about 20 brass big boys (he's rich but only models with his $$$$).

 I usually stop at 3. I might buy more of the same in the future, I hadn't thought of it, but I am now at the point where I will have 5 SD40s 5 SD45s. 3 GP38s 3GP40s 3 SD70s...ect. I guess I was trying to hit all points of the roster.

 I'm starting to think I'm gonna want another 2 or 5 GP38s in a while ect. I model BN, SF and BNSF with a little montana rail link UP ect. mixed in. HO SCALE.

I was just wondering if a lot of you guys have -I don't know say 12 of the same model loco.
