I voted two, however I currently have 5 FP45s. Out of the 5, I will be selling two of them on Ebay after I detail two of the Silver & Red Warbonnets and repaint and detail one into the Dark Blue & Yellow scheme (non-warbonnet version).

I don't want to have any more than 25 locomotives as while more may seem desirable, maintenance headaches creep up if long time periods occur between runs. A few years back I winded up selling some units because of this.

"I like my Pullman Standards & Budds in Stainless Steel flavors, thank you!"

I've got 5 Alco C-424-425's. I consider them all the same, as the differences were small.
my display fleet has a bunch of 40-2's, maybe 8-10 of them. But they get no run time. And unless I get busy, neither will the Alcos!

I own two each of the following:

GE 44-tonner (both SN)
Single-truck Birney (one will be SN, one PG&E)
GP-7 (one WP, one SP)

I own two more GE 44-tonners, plus I have an extra GE 70-tonner and SW-7, plus four or five Brill trolleys, but those are slated for conversion to as-yet-unbuilt trolleys or freight motors and thus are not counted in the above totals.
