How many engines and cars do you have?

[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..

[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!

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.

[railroadyoshi]

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).

Too Many -or- Not Enough


...kinda depends on who your asking.

[Hawks05]

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.

[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.

About 50 locos and about double that in rolling stock.

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

[Anonymous]

I honestly don't know.
It's been a while since I counted them all.
I guess it's time to take inventory.

[loathar]

8 locos (3 steam, 5 deisel) 40 cars, oooops, two 22,000 gallon tankers plunged 5ft. to their deaths today, uhh, 38 cars. (revised estimate[:(])

[icmr]

Right now I have 1 Athearn Genesis SD70 ILLINOIS CENTRAL #1006,
30 freight cars, and three cabooses. Not alot but I only have an 8'x16' layout.

note all is HO scale

[Berk-fan284]

Hi my name is Berk-fan284 and I have a problem...Oops this isn't locomotives annonymous- just kidding! Due to ebay and the LHS about 65 locos ( 14 used and abused brass steam engines, 22 plastic and diecast steam engines, the rest are four and six axle diesals) and about 150+ cars (roughly 48 coal cars,7 gondolas,4 flat cars, 7 tank cars, 2-5 unit double stack cars, the rest are 40ft box cars) this is the current estimate because I think it's got to the point that cell division is happening now.

[johncolley]

My 14 car Empire Builder is pulled by a pair of BLI E-7's. and my 65+ car freight is pulled by Stewart FT's-3 powered ABA plus a second B that is dummy but full of sound with 2 woofers and a tweeter. I have on order a BLI NW2 switcher for the west end of the yard and will get another next year when I do the east end. I also have 2 LL GP7's that I will convert to DCC and sound next year. I am doing '47 to '50 Great Northern in the Cascades on Free-mo modules.

The only other locos I need (want?) are a couple of QUALITY RI SD40-2 s (which the BLI, Kato and Athearns are NOT), and two Atlas Master IAIS GP38s (when they get a round tuit).

I'm not sure about rolling stock - probably ~ 100.
But like the locos, I have most of what I NEED.
Just some more Atlas corn syrup cars and a few others I WANT .....

[sebamat]

With 25y modelling, good salary and no obligation until next december I cumulated way too much trains, in several 'collections', but it would be unfair to the teenagers here in the forum to brag on what i have.... I too started with some tracks on the floor and a very cheap engine that barely ran... and I had to painfully (no ice cream!!) spare all the poket money to buy the next car.
IC steam:
4 mountains (2x IHC, 2x Bachmann)
1 Mike PRR (athearn), run bad
3 consolidation (2x IHC, 1x Bachmann to reletter)
2 Mogul IHC
2 Atlantic IHC
1 Mogul Model Power
3 wild west 4-4-0 bachmann
1 0-6-0 NYC bachmann
1 Baldwin 4-6-0 bachmann

ca 60 more or less fitting freight cars, 20 of them coal hoppers
ca 20 passenger (all Bev-bel/athearn or MDC roundhouse)

Beside that I have a nice collection of european trains (mostly swiss, and some french)

Wait a minute. I thought the Super Chief set locomotives came with either two powered or two dummy. I know all my sets did. How did you get a set with one of each?

[jbaakko]

40 Locomotives, and 100+ cars right now.

In HO, I think I have about 14 locomotives, and almost 30 cars. And in N scale, I think I have about 9 locomotives, and the same amount of cars.

Not much, I know...
