I think your choices for the poll are rather limited; I would suggest:
0-4, 5-10, 11-24, 25-50, 50-99, 100+
you would get more realistic information that way.

One can never have enough engines.I'm in the 30ish range.I have to say though that dummy is probably not a politically correct term anymore. I prefer motorly challenged. LOL enjoy Rob

I actually have no idea how many engines I've got. It stood at 150 about two years ago, before I started selling them off at local swapmeets. I do know that I've got 40 reserved for the layout, and want to buy another 2-5. I think I'm down to 20-30 engines left in the "for sale" bins.

Some of you guys sure have a lot of locomotives. I hold to the adage: The more you have; the more time you spend having to take care of it.

I'm happy with my two:
1 Athearn 2-8-2 Mikado
1 P2K Alco S1 switcher

At some point, I may eventually "double" my fleet but...probably not much more.

The late 1950s era Bunter Ridge runs (in n-scale):
3 pairs Alco FA2/FB2 (A-B-B-A and an A-B consists, Life-Like)
1 pail Alco PA1/PB1 (Kato)
4 Alco RS-11s (Atlas/Kato)
3 Alco RSD-12s (Atlas/Kato)
6 Alco RS-2s (Kato)
5 Alco RSD-4/5s (Atlas)
3 EMD E8s (usually A-B-A consist, Kato)
3 EMD SD9s (Atlas)
2 Baldwin VO-1000s (Atlas)
2 EMD SW9s (Life Like)

The various Alco road switchers run in a number of consists, including alone.

As you can see, they love Alcos. The only expansion I foresee is if someonone comes out with a good Alco S-2 (or -3 or -4) model in N-scale that is not a pain to convert to DCC (are you listening, Kato?). I've got too many conversion projects waiting for me to add any more to the queue that aren't simply drop-in installations.

I think one thing that's relevant is "what scale are you in", after all, we'd be pretty surprised if a G Scaler had as many locomotives as an N scaler.

My current roster:

Modern Heavies
4 Kato SD70MAC
3 Atlas Dash8-BW
1 Kato AC4400CW
1 Kato SD90/43 MAC

Diesel Middleweights
1 Kato SD40
1 Atlas GP30
1 Atlas GP35

Diesel Switcher
1 LLSW1200

Diesel Passenger
4 Kato PA-1
1 Kato PB-1
2 Kato E8
1 LL E8
2 Kato RDC

Steam
3 Bachmann Spectrum Consolidation 2-8-0
2 Bachmann Spectrum Mountain 4-8-2
2 Kato Mikado 2-8-2
2 MDC Mogul 2-6-0
1 MDC Consolidation 2-8-0
1 LL Berkshire 2-8-4
1 Atlas Mogul 2-6-0
1 LL 2-8-8-2

All in Normal scale. [:D]

I have recently sold a Kato SD45, and may be selling one of the Bachmann Connies. Current plans include expanding the roster by 6-10 locos this year.

nuts! I knew I'd forgotten one... [B)]

125 and climbing (it must be an addiction - buying locos). All first and second generation diesels, no dummies.
