Holy cow...I feel a little insignificant with my 12 engines and ~100 cars. Wow. I can't even imagine how long it would take me to pick up more than 30 engines, and I've been doing this for 20 years!

Heh... you feel insignificant...check this out.

PRR J1
M1a
Heavy Mike.. all three BLI

Riverossi Heisler, MDC Shay with gear/axle problems and a life like 0-6-0 that is OOP.

There is a few spectrum steamers such as the 2-10-0, 4-6-0 There is a cow and calf in my stable that is very mean and onery... gotta work on that or... acquire a set of BLI's and be happy. Dont know which way I will go yet.

I have a Life Like 2-8-8-2 with QSI coming. That will be the star of the fleet. At one time I had too many engines and too many cars.. I have since executed my first "Clean-out" and will be weeding out the weak sisters among the 60+ rolling stock. The survivors get run regularly and maintained when I need to.

"Hey guys

I know this has been posted a thousand times before but since there are some new members over the holidays I was wondering how many locos do you have in your collection. For me I only have 12 locos and 112 freight cars. I only have a 4X8 layout too.

Interested to hear your thoughts

Jeremy"


Only a couple, eh? I have a few, and by a few I mean 10, cars. Haven't spent no money on a bunch of cars or a really good locomotive untill I have some track. Don't want anything getting broken lying around.,

Well let's see.
In O scale I have 3 engines and approximately 40 cars about half kits.
In O 3 rail I have 1 engine and 6 cars.
In HO scale I have 6 engines and approximately 50 cars, all kits except for 3 of the engines and 4 scratch/parts built cars.
In S scale I have 5 engines and approximately 50 cars about half and half kits and RTR.
In Sn2 I have 4 HOn3 engine kits to be modified and 6 cars. all kits but 1.

Now if only I can find the space and time to use it all.[:)][:)]

Enjoy

I have an LGB "G" steam with 8 freight cars.
I have an "N" steam with 4 freight cars.
I have a Lionel Penn Flyer steam still in the box.
I also have 3 "HO" diesels and 6 freight cars.
One proto 2k E8/9 AB set and a few passenger cars.

I have no layout, but I set them all up at Christmas for all the kids that come over to play with.
They all seem to like different scales.

Well, I don't really know how many. The one thing I do know is that I don't have nearly enough. "Too much just ain't enough".[:D]
