I thinned my collection down to several engines all but two are BLI.
I also reduced rolling stock to about 50 of all types with a majority of reefers.
I see it easier to maintain than a large group of stock that requires supplies every month.

1 loco (switcher) and 4 cars. Yes, that's it. Been through a larger number in my lifetime for sure, but that's what I've got for this go-around with the hobby.
This number will likely increase quite a bit over the next couple years.

Three engines, nine mixed cars, two pax cars. I think that is lots.
I am uncomfortable with the idea of having more stuff than I can handle at the same time laying unused. People complain that the hobby is getting too expensive, but have huge inventories of rolling stock and drawers full of locos.
