4 engines and maybe 25-30 freight cars and cabooses but no track … yet.

[sigh]

cheers, Jake

Three engines, nine mixed cars, two pax cars. I think that is lots.

I am uncomfortable with the idea of having more stuff than I can handle at the same time laying unused. People complain that the hobby is getting too expensive, but have huge inventories of rolling stock and drawers full of locos.

4

About 50 engines, between 500-600 frieght cars, 7 cabooses, and 11 active passenger cars.

5

3 diesels, 1 GP38 2 x SD40-2 . Class J 4-8-4, 2-8-8-2, 2-6-0 steamers. 20 x 3 bay hoppers couple tank cars 2 ore cars, 2 box cars, 3 old time passenger

1 loco (switcher) and 4 cars. Yes, that’s it. Been through a larger number in my lifetime for sure, but that’s what I’ve got for this go-around with the hobby.

This number will likely increase quite a bit over the next couple years.

I thinned my collection down to several engines all but two are BLI.

I also reduced rolling stock to about 50 of all types with a majority of reefers.

I see it easier to maintain than a large group of stock that requires supplies every month.

  1. 2-8-8-2 PRR Mallet, 2) PRR 40’ box cars, and 1) PRR GLa Hopper.
9

5 engines 3 steam and 2 diesel, 14 assorted freight cars and 2 cabooses. and still no layout yet…but hopefully soon

10

Somewhere between 40 and 50 engines and between 60 and 70 cars including passenger cars.

11

21 Locomotives: 5 steam, 16 diesels, 45 freight cars, 8 passenger cars and 10 cabooses. And no real layout to run them on…sigh…

12

1 PRR E-8, 1 0-6-0T, 1 trolly. 1 caboose, 4 passenger cars being upgraded (I hope), and about a dozen assorted freight cars. Not much but it is a start.

13

Well,without looking at my great tally book-that’s what I call my note book and CDs that contain this information-I suspose I have close to 300 cars and I am not sure on my engine count because I sold off 90% of my P2Ks,some older Atlas/Kato that no longer fit my needs.But,as a wild guess I will say around 60 or 65 locomotives.

14

In S scale I have 2 steam loco kits, 2 diesels and 1 electric. Have approx. 75 cars, some kits, some built, some RTR.
In Sn2 I have 4 steam loco kits (MDC HOn3 kits to be converted to Sn2), 1 steam loco RTR. I have 5 cars - 4 kits, 1 RTR.
I also have some HO and O engines and cars in kits, built, scratchbuilt, and RTR.
Enjoy

Somewhere between 25 and 30 locomotives, all transition era diesels, a little over 200 assorted freight cars, 10 or 12 cabooses and 8 passenger cars. I’m done adding motive power, and will probably hit around 250 freight cars before the roster is complete. The debate continues whether or not there will be a second passenger train.

16

wow i have 3 locos and like 14 freight cars

17

I have 50 locos and 300+ cars . I like unit trains Have a 45 car intermodel, 70 car Coal Drag and a35 car consist of “Highcubes”. I am going to be stating a Module for a group we are forming and want to have a 40 to 50 car consist of Billboard reefers to run on it, i am about 1/2 way on building the consist. My passenger consist are the CZ in DRGW PA-1/PB-1/PA-1 in the Silver Scheme and the Single Stripe, have a set of undecorated that i will do in the original Alco PA-1 “Black & Gold” as delivered to the DRGW.

18

30 locomotives and at least 350 freight cars no passenger cars(That’s right: zilch. I hope to complete the CSX business train some day though), not including all the parts, extra track, switches, and other misc. items. Needless to say it takes up a bit of space. I need to take inventory. Also I need to get started on my new layout and a small outside diorama for photo-shoots.

19

A whole lot more than I need or will ever be able to use. It is sort of silly actually, I can’t keep track and have ended up with many duplicates.
At a swap meet today I traded - Bachman Spectrum 4-6-2, Roundhouse Climax, Athearn blue box PA, for an Altas Trainmaster. So net is -2.

For engines here are some people’s rosters.

There several similar threads out there for cars but “search” doesn’t seem to be working exactly properly right now so I can’t find it.

20

Lets see, right now I have 53 locmotives, 100 freight cars & 34 passenger cars.

I have 2 more locomotives at my LHS on layaway & probably a few more freight cars by the the end of the week.
