How many engines and cars do you have?

[Anonymous]

About 50 locos and about double that in rolling stock.

I have all of what I need, and most of what I want !

[tstage]

I'm up to three: (In order of purchases)

- Athearn 2-8-2 Mikado
- Proto 2000 Alco S1 switcher
- Stewart Baldwin VO-600 switcher (as of last month)

Coming in September/October:

- Stewart EMD FT A-B diesel...W/ SOUND! [:)] (I'm looking forward to hearing that.)

That'll make four.

I can't remember if I've already posted or not yet, but I have 11 locomotives and probably 50-75 rolling stock. My newest locomotive is a Proto 2000 GP38-2, UP #2040. hopefully I'll be able to get another one sometime in the future. Looking to get an Atlas 8-40B in the coming weeks and maybe a BNSF GP60, formely AT&SF relettered.

Too Many -or- Not Enough


...kinda depends on who your asking.

[selector]

Addendum to my earlier reply: I've gone ahead and ordered a BLI K-4. So I am like tstage, now totalling 4 locos and roughly 15 rolling stock. Unless I build a monster layout with 36" curves, and inherit some decent money (I don't play the lottery on principle), I won't be getting anything else. Well, I may add a couple of Harriman pax cars (plastic kits).

I have 12 engines. My best is the Norfolk Southern SD80MAC. I have about 34 cars, about 23 of them are active, the others have been stored away. I've been in Model Railroading and Trains for one year. I have built a 4x16 layout, and I have plans on upgrading it. I am modeling NS and CSX. I am sort of modeling the cities of Princeton Indiana and Evansville Indiana. I have plans of acquiring more engines and cars in the future.

[stokesda]

4 Locos:
- Bachmann 4-8-4 with Bowser Mechanism (so it's basically a Bowser with a plastic Bachmann shell [:)])
- Walthers Trainline BNSF Dash 8 (4-axle)
- Bachmann Spectrum UP Dash 8 (6-axle)
- Athearn DRG&W F7A (w/ F7B dummy)

No idea how much rolling stock... I'd guess at least 50 pieces... more than I can fit on my layout at once!

[Anonymous]

I quite frankly don't know. I do both N and HO scale, and I have reached the point where I decided I need another engine or piece of rolling stock like a hole in the head, so there's been a moratorium on purchases. Its not hundreds, but its more than enough to keep me busy... especially the kits..

[accord1959]

HO - 30 Locos all big modern diesel, and 116 freight cars no cabooses or passenger equipment. I model present day with the exception of 2 Atlas U30C's, just had to have a pair of these ones.

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.

[jeffrey-wimberly]

20 locos (16 diesel, 4 steam), 70 cars.

[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!

[jbinkley60]

43 diesel locomotives and 177 freight cars and counting.

[joeyegarner]

oooooooh about 20 Locos and an estimated 70 to 80 cars.... I want more but I dont have room for what I have now.

It seems I have the proper ratio anywya.......lol

[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.

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.

[Anonymous]

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]

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:

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.

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?

[Anonymous]

I what gauges or gauge?

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

[waltersrails]

12-15 engines 130 or more cars 3 passenger cars about 8 cabooses
