How many locomotives do you own?

[AggroJones]

23, I think. But only 8 in active duty.

I gues I'd have to agree with the other folks you have basically said they have wayyyy too many locomotives. (I do.) But, I also agree with the person who asked if you can ever have enough. [:)]

I have... a lot. It's a disease. [:I] But, it keeps me out of trouble. For the most part.

Of the fleet, maybe a half dozen are on the work table in various stages of having details added or other work done. Another dozen are in the same shape, but in boxes left over from a previous household move. One is on my computer desk. The rest are in their boxes, stacked in a bookcase next to the work table, waiting for their turn....

100 Great Northern brass steam, plus some brass GN diesels and electrics along with 2 GN gas electrics. The majority of the rest of the brass are camelbacks (an addiction I picked up) and miscellaneous articulateds. Then there are a lot of zamac steam, diesel and 3 electrics, plus the usual plastic locos. Forty years ago my goal was to someday own 100 GN steamers, after getting a sale list from a fellow in MIssouri. He had for sale about 4-5 GN Pacifics and I thought that must be great having not just one of a particular wheel arrangement sitting in the engine facility. I was finally able to accomplish my dream.
In narrow gauge brass, 5 EBT Mikados and a pair of articulateds also.

Total of 42. 10 brass steam, 32 diesel with plastic shells. I use CTC on my layout so all have receivers except for the steam engines. Only five are equiped with receivers, so I have 37operating. All UP. Power for the diesels are for the most part Proto-Power, but I do have some Life-Like Proto 2000 units. Shells are from Athearn, Railpower, Sprectrum, High Liners, and one other I can't remember.

Well, I've got around 120 locomotives right now. On my layout I have 8 running, plus another 17 in my yard, roundhouse and on sidings. All of my extra locomotives and rolling stock are displayed on shelves that I have on most of the walls of my train room.

I have 127 working locomotives & 11 dummy units in HO. I , like yourself can't pass up a good bargain. I have a friend who had too many toys & wanted to sell off his collection , steam , diesel , ect. So that boosted my fleet by 94 units now totaling 138. He gave me everything that was HO . Just under 900 pieces of rolling stock plus the 94 engines. He's keeping the O gauge though. I only use aprox. 50 on a rotation basis & the rest are kept in their original boxes in totes. "Talk about your megamergers"....................PS. There went my 2002 tax return. & realy the only sad thing about my collection is that only 21 units are Soo Line .
