How many train Cars do you have?

[Anonymous]

I have a few more than 100 cars. Funny i dont have a caboose............

Oh yeah, I forgot to add that all thought I selected 71 to 80 cars that consist of all passenger cars. I have yet to start buying freight equipment so that number could double when I do.

I'm sick enough to keep mine on a spreadsheet, mostly so when I am searching on ebay or rummaging through the MTL, Inter Mountain and Atlas racks at the LHS I know what I have already.

The roster is 145 and growing. Mostly box cars and reefers, some flats, piggybacks, a slew of ore cars a handful of gondolas and various tank cars. Oh, and the MTL skeleton cars with logs fit in. 145 does not include the cabeese.

Over 700, including around 50 cabooses and around 225 coal hoppers, half with Wilson Harrell loads and half empties. All rolling stock with P2K metal wheels.

I am well past 100 across three scales. I already exceed the number I can use on the layout, but I keep buying them anyway, 6 in the last month. Why? well there were these O&W hoppers with 4 unique numbers and I don't have any O&W, then there was this vinegar car kit, then there was the V&O refreigerator car kit (NMRA S scale). I think I need to change my hobby to car collecting, forget the layout, and build display shelves.

WAY too many to count--I can't pass the Accurail or Red Caboose or Intermountain shelves in the hobby shop without telling myself that I can't live without THAT particular car! I'm a sucker for refrigerator cars--can't even begin to tell you how many I have, and that's just the PFE's, not counting the ART's and WFEX's, to say nothing of the Burlingtons, NP's, URTX--get my point? And would someone please tell me WHY I need 44 coal-hoppers for a trans Sierra Nevada mainline in California during WWII? I mean, the state doesn't even PRODUCE coal, for cryin' out loud!! Oops, gotta go, I just heard that Accurail got some new USRA wood-side hoppers---

Thank god, now I don't feel as bad as my parents try to make me feel. I have between 71 and 80 cars and my parents say I have too many trains yet the leading poll shows that those with 100+ cars.

At least I know I still have good reason to continue to build my roster, lol.

I've been reducing the size of my fleet for the past couple of years. Out went virtually all of the Athearn and Roundhouse cars, to be replaced on about a 3-1 ratio with higher quality cars in both plastic and resin. Including cabooses and passenger cars (and kits to be built), I've "only" got about 400 cars!

[AntonioFP45]

I've actually reduced the size of my freight and passenger car fleet which was over 50.

I retired the Tycos and Bachmann cars and use them to test my airbrush just before I do a paint job on a loco or car. I also sold or traded off all of my Athearn passenger cars.

Future purchases:
Freight cars will be MDC and Bowser freight cars.
Passenger cars will be Walthers.

I just started building a layout and have purchased a few small lots of cheap cars off of eBay so I can practice detailing. 4 passenger coaches, 4 cattle cars, a tanker, a flat bed, 2 reefers, a hopper, a drop frame articulated flat, and a box car.

Last week I got an air brush, this weekend I hope to get the fittings to hook it up.
