I've been selling down my engine collection over the past few years, consolidating and rationalizing my collection, so I might have missed a few that I still have, but from off the top of my head, my roster looks something like:

Life Like Heritage 0-6-0 x2
Life Like Heritage 0-8-0 x4
Life Like Heritage 2-8-4 x7
Athearn Genesis USRA light 2-8-2 x5
BLI USRA heavy 2-8-2 x3
BLI USRA light 2-8-2 x2
Bachmann Spectrum 2-8-0 x5
Bachmann Spectrum USRA heavy 4-8-2 x2
Bachmann Spectrum USRA light 2-10-2 x1
Bachmann Spectrum 2-10-0 x1
Bowser H-10 x1
Bowser USRA light 2-8-2 x1
Bowser K-11 4-6-2 x1
MDC 4-4-2 x1
MDC 2-8-0 x1
MDC 2-6-0 x1
MDC 0-6-0 x2
MDC 4-6-0 x1
Mantua 2-8-2 x6
Mantua 4-6-2 x3
"Mantua" kitbash 4-8-2 (was several engines)
Oriental Powerhouse USRA light 2-8-2 x4
Alco brass B-11 0-6-0 x1
NPP brass NKP L-1a 4-6-4 x1
Overland brass H-5 2-8-2 x2

Life Like P2K S-1 x1
Life Like P2K PA-1 x1
Life Like P1K F3a x2
BLI SW7 x2
Bachmann Spectrum 44 tonner x1

Sometime this year, I plan on adding another 4-8 engines to my roster, mostly Bachmann engines of older prototypes and the upcoming Athearn 4-4-0, as I'm assembling a fleet of older engines for occasional 1915 OP sessions.

Yes, when both the house, and the storage area at the club are overflowing, and then a complete fairly large storage unit hasno more space - You have too many locomotives....
