How many Locos do you have??

[joeyegarner]

Myself I counted 17 Diesels (auctually 19 left out the F7A and B in Black Widow paint )and 3 Steamers. But I don't spend much time with steam because they are be so tempermental.
My favorite Diesels are two SD-9's from athern one powerd and one dummy, put a lot of detail work into these and custom painted both (Southern pacific)complete with weathering. I also have a C-30 ( UP)thats been regeared and detailed this one is a real strong puller and 3 P2K's GP 9's (nuff said). Although I'm not real fond of steam I recently found a couple of Pemco 2-6-0's Southerns that I like to look at.

[tstage]

I only have two and they are both early switchers: a Baldwin VO-660 and an Alco S1. I am very fond of them both. But, I'd have to say that the edge probably goes to the P2K S1 because 1) it was my first, and 2) I got it for such a bargain (70% off list, brand new). Runs like silk and looks great.

I have one steamer: an Athearn 2-8-2 Mikado.

AGAIN! From all the prior poles like this you might need to add a few zeros to the high end there.

Favorite In what way?
Best running - RS3 Northern Pacific Canoe scheme
Running in prototypical context - GP7 Zebra Striped Santa Fe
Most Impressive - A-B-A Alco PA Santa Fe War bonnet.

Why doesn't this include steamers? I have many more of them than diesels. If this is supposed to include only diesels, I want to withdraw my vote. [:D]

[rolleiman]

More than I care to count. Don't have a favorite, I like them all..

I answered 50+ in the steamer category and I want MORE!!!! More Rio Grande L-131 2-8-8-2's and more Missabe Road M-3/4 2-8-8-4's. More, more, MORE!!! Do you get the feeling that I like heavy Articulateds?[:P][:P][:P]

[trainboyH16-44]

I dunno... Probably between 30 and 40. (Including crummy, broken athearns)
Altogether, I have a good 30 locos too many for operating the railway. (2 trains, 4 locos, +1 switcher)
oh, well, the good ones are all regularely run.

I've got 14 in HO, but only use about 9 (the others are junkers). 8 Diesel, 6 Steam.

[Anonymous]

Just past 50 units with more on the way, literally. And more coming throughout the next few months.

[orsonroy]

I voted 50+ steam. I think I've got somewhere around 75 or so. But...I also have 30-40 diesels. And what about the electrics? I've got four.

My favorite? Any USRA light 2-8-2!

[Anonymous]

About 12 I could probably install DCC in and if you count all my junkers, well over 40.

[grayfox1119]

13 for me, 10 steam, 3 diesels. Hopefully my SS COLA will allow me one or two a year now that I am retired and not making the big bucks that all you young engineers are making now.[:D]

[trainfreek92]

just started modeling about 10 months ago so i have 1 N scale plus 4 good ho scale but have about 5 junkers in ho

[mp_eagle]

I have 8 steamers (5 brass, 3 plastic), 62 first generation diesels ( pre-1960, 2 brass the rest plastic), 115 second generation diesels (only 1 brass). Each one is detailed, weathered and operational. About 1/3 are owner painted.

My favorite locomotives are 4 Kato GP35's that I've had for at least 10 years. Each is a sweet runner and they run together great.

[Darth Santa Fe]

21-50 total. (diesels and steamers) I have around 30-35 diesels (too lazy to count) and around 15 steamers (still too lazy to count). My favorite...............................................don't know. I like them all.[:D]

[tsgtbob]

Favorite, Gem brass C&O Greenbriar!!! Not the greatest looking by today's standards, but, my wife bought it for me!
Favorite O scale locomotive Atlas "O" SD 35, 2 rail Chessie!!! Fantastic locomotive, aside from sitting too high on the trucks absolutly fantastic!
Most run, Atlas "o" F-9s cheap, reliable, good looking, and a great bargain.
Best puller Weaver RS-3 with NWSL wheelsets. This one has the old all-nation style chain drive, pulls like a mad dentist!!! (no offense to the Dental Professionals out there)

[MisterBeasley]

4 powered diesels, working with decoders on the layout.
1 dummy diesel
1 PCC car
1 4-car subway train (1 powered)

And then there's the big box of old stuff from when I was a teenager. Some don't work at all, some are in pieces, and a couple I've actually tried decoders in, but they didn't work well enough, so I cannibalized the decoders. I did get one (an Athearn F7A, gear drive) to run well enough that it will get to keep its decoder. The dummy came from this heap, and there's another that will get the same treatment.

5 or so steamers in the "old stuff" category, unfortunately.

[scubaterry]

11 Diesels and 3 Steam. My fav is a P2K GP-9 that I installed my first sound decoder in. It sounds better than the QSI GP-9 I have.

I've got 16 diesels and 4 steamers. My favorite diesels are my Southern Pacific GP-40-2 and my Cotton Belt GP-40. My favorite steamer is my 2-8-2 Western Pacific Mikado. I hope to collect a couple of more steamers yet, but I'm about done with diesels...

Tracklayer

[IRONROOSTER]

2 diesels, 2 steam, 1 electric. That's in S scale. I plan on 2 more diesels and 4 more steam in the near future. My favorite at the moment is the GG1.
Enjoy
Paul

[BentnoseWillie]

Servicable now? Around ten, with another 3 or 4 waiting to be built. All diesels, with one RDC in the mix. HO scale, divvied up amongst Atlas/Roco, Atlas/Kato, Kato, Athearn, Athearn/NWSL, Athearn/RPP, P2K and P1K.

[wairoa]

I have about 70 give or take 1 or 2.
