I was interested in seeing your roster - seems like we have similar interests.  Thanks for sharing, although I too wondered if anybody cared when I posted.

Well, if anything, you guys make me feel better about having multiples of the same engine.  Big Smile [:D]

My short list:

4 of the BLI N&W Js -  600, 606, 609, and 611

3 of the BLI N&W As -  1217, 1218, and 1224. 

One of the Oriental Powerhouse N&W Y-3s, # 2020.

According to BLI, my 1217 is the only A that had the builders plate decal.  You see it in a lot of their PR pics with different road numbers.  I tried to get the decal for the other engines and they said they decided not to do them.

 I hope to also get some of the P2K 0-8-0s and a couple of the PCM Y6b's.

I model modern too.  But then there's: Percy, Thomas, James, Henery, Gordon, Spencer, and Toby.  Of course Emily is on order.

O.K. if we're telling the truth, maybe there's a couple of 0-4-0 tank switchers, and a 2-10-0, and a 4-6-2 in Daylight Colors but I can't run it because the flanges are to tall. 

And one, lowly bras 2-6-2, SP.

But I model modern....sort of...
