15 locos but in G scale so they take up a lot of room.

   Have fun with your trains

Right now in my database, I have 34 locomotives. This includes both powered & non-powered. It does not include the Proto RDC in my collection.

As of Feb 5th,2004 I have 36 locomotives, two powered RDC's & 4 more locomotives on order.

Posted by Anonymous on Saturday, August 16, 2003 12:36 PM
Just for fun I thought I'd post this topic. Do you have just a few engines working hard on your layout or is your motive power roster greater than that of some small countries?

I myself have probably about 100 HO locomotives in my collection, not counting my tinplate trains. The reason I have so many is because I buy almost all of my trains used and am constantly searching for bargains. I can't turn down a train I don't have at a cheap price.

So cast your vote and share some coments. Also, if you own a hobby shop with hundreds of trains in stock, that doesn't count.
