Fascinating question. I'm 64 and bought my first HO steamer back in 1962. PFM Santa Fe 1850 2-8-0. Still have it, replaced it with a can motor about ten years ago, still runs like a Swiss watch. I have a lot of older Japanese brass, all steam, mainly Espee and Rio Grande, when they were still relatively affordable. Of the 30+locos I have, they ALL get a workout from time to time. As to favorites, it would be hard to say. But the idea for me is, no matter how many you have, keep 'em running! That's what we're supposed to do, right?

... how many I admit to depends on whether my wife's looking at this or not! [:D]

I think I have 25 HO scale locos at the moment; most are either B&M or Maine Central about half with DCC decoders. I have a couple decorated for the fictious Colorado inspired road of the club I belong to (Alton Model Railway Group altonmrg.co.uk).

I've also got about a dozen British narrow guage locos in various scales and mainly scratch built.

I have 16 but I am now looking at getting rid of all the later (chronologically) ones because I have settled on 1947, and am going over to DCC. The reason is that the 12-14 car Empire Builder was still being pulled by my pair of BLI E-7 A's. They changed to ABA and sometimes ABBA FT's or F3's in '49 and relegated the E units to lesser trains. For freight I have an ABBA set of Stewart FT's that I am converting to DCC/sound. And I have a BLI NW-2 switcher on order. I may keep some of the others for the diesel shop and service tracks, like my Baldwin switcher, and 2 GP7's.

NOT counting the people who said "too many" @ 112 fans own about 5,300 (yes, that's five THOUSAND three hundred) locomotives, that pretty well says it all doesn't it.
