How many engines and cars do you have?

[bnnrailroad]

Tom Curtain,

I have a Kodak Easy Share digital camera. I took the picure, uploaded it to my PC, posted it to my webpage and linked it in my signature.

Basically, that how the broadside of the Boeville & Newtown PA-1 ends up down in my signature.

25 engines 9 steam 16 desiel 80+misc cars

[Anonymous]

3 Electric 40 ton to Little Joe
4 steam 2-8-0 and 2-8-2
2 Desiel

50 + cars and climbing. Real easy to get a high rolling stock to engine ration when the only engines for your RR are in brass and too expensive to consider.

If I may ask, how do you do those broadside pictures of equipment on your posts? I see various posters are doing that

If you can count them, you don't have enough.

I'm with Chinatown. More than I need or could possibly ever use despite the CINC Home's best efforts. Problem is that I have too much trouble deciding what to get rid of.

My wife put all my stuff ( spell that trains) in a computer list. I took one look at it and then insured it.. I havn't purchased anything in a while and most future purchases will no doubt be limited to kadee couplers and maybe wheel sets. Happy highballing. Phil

[Anonymous]

I what gauges or gauge?

[jamnest]

I model HO scale and have 36 locomotives, 200 freight cars and a Southern Bell passenger consist. About 1/2 of the locomotives and rolling stock will be purged as there were impulse buys. I am trying to be more accurate in my modeling by collecting locomotives and rolling stock more appropriate for my era (KCS 1981).

I also purchased about a dozen Athern and PK2 units that I was going to modify and repaint for the KCS someday. However before someday came an accurate DCC ready model, with sound is on the market! What does one do?

[dragonriversteel]

This is gonna take awhile.

13 locomotives as listed below

Two NS High hood SD-40-2's...Athearn
one SD-40-2 NS snoot...Athearn
One NS U-23B...Athearn
One NS SW-1500....Athearn
One DRSC Varney SW-1200 heavy shopped
Three NS 9-44-CW Two powered, one dummy...Athearn
Two Kaiser steel U30-C's...Athearn
One NS SD90MAC...Kato
One NS GP-40 High hood...Atlas
Two NS 8-40C's...Atlas
A couple of total junk locomotives that I won't bother to list

More locomotives to join the ranks, wish list below.

A Atlas RSD4/5 with DRSC logo
A pair of Stewart N&W Alco C630's
Kato United States Steel SD-38-2
A home built/kit-bashed X CN sweep locomotive {In dream up phase}
A CN RSC-24 {In real dream up phase }

Thats it for locomotives for now....now on to the freight cars.

Last time I counted ...just rolling stock, came up with about 234 freight cars. Far to many to list off, but I'll list a few.

Forty car work train with cars from these manufactors. Three walthers MOW kits six cars per kit.Athearn baggage cars,derrick crane and crane tender, roundhouse cars ECT.

A crap load 20 of roundhouse 5 bay hoppers { Southern and others}
Flat cars ,gondolas,covered hoppers,box cars to friggin many to list off.

Anyhow theres a bunch of freight cars....not to mention the steel mill rolling stock, theres not that many of these,may be 16 total steel mill rolling stock.

That's a good plan. In my case it wouldn't do them any good since the goodies aren't here but in a storage unit.

As usual I just list my latest addition. Last week I added a BLI Santa Fe 2-10-2, and a set of 30 Proto 2000 gondolas. The 52.6' drop end mill type.

Its getting to be more than one can ever look at, let alone use.

I really wish we could combine these into a single thread. Or a least drag up the same one each time:

Chuck - are you afraid I might come over and BORROW an engine or two? LOL! My roster is just starting to grow. I have 1 BLI Hudson, 1 Brass Doodlebug, 1 Atlas RS-1, 2 Kato RS-2's, 1 Kato NW2, and 1 Proto2k S-1 switcher. All but the Hudson are in process of getting DCC sound (if possible).

I have 3 Walthers heavyweight coaches (see thread on Passenger Car Project) with lighting and figures inside. 10 new freight cars are on the way this week including hoppers, gondolas, cabooses, etc.

It's not a whole lot but I really just started a few months ago. Actually, my roster is building faster than expected thanks to e-bay [8D]

[tomikawaTT]

That comes under the heading of, "Drop dead before discussing." My roster is in an encrypted file. Printouts get red covers stamped TOP SECRET.

Not to protect against my wife finding out (she knows,) but to keep me from becoming a target for nocturnal visitors.

Let's just say - enough locomotives to operate the complete timetable with reserves for failures and maintenance issues, enough MU cars to cover the 60 or so schedules they're expected to meet, enough passenger cars to fill out the consists of all scheduled trains, and 1/700th of the JNR freight roster as of September 1964.

[twhite]

Just took a look at this thread about a year later, and I have to admit that I've cut my passenger consists back severely. Not because I don't like passenger trains--I do--, but because so many of my older passenger cars were pretty sub-standard. So right now, I have:
The Morning Daylight (which will become a real prototype as soon as PCM comes out with their consists).
The Exposition Flyer
A Rio Grande Mail Train
The Yuba River Express (3-5 car local)
A troop train.
I've also added about 4 more locos and a lot of PFE (WP) refrigerator cars.

[jbinkley60]

43 diesel locomotives and 177 freight cars and counting.

[Anonymous]

I have a friend whom has 350 egines and and 500 coal hopper cars. All N scale. I can't even tell you how many other cars he has. Not to mention all the HO stuff he as too!

[scubaterry]

I have 28 engines and about 130 rolling stock. I have a set of Stewart FT's coming. And I just ordered a 2-8-2 Bowser kit. I also have a dozen or so IHC NYC passenger cars that are idle at the moment. Hopefully on my next layout I will have the room for some passenger action.
