well I`m the proud owner of 18 HO units in Canadian roads and 35 mostly steam British OO locos from a range of companies…Thought for the day for the gentlemen earlier who were moaning about"this topic again"–if you dont like it,why contribute…? be happy,nick
I work in a few scales/gauges… my primary is On3- but I have branched out a bit. I do the PRR in ‘N’, the I.C./GM&O/T&NO in HO.Also, I’m contemplating an On30 project and have a few things there- but there just isn’t room for it all!
My On3 roster is primarily D&RGW/RGS, but there are a couple Shays and a C&S Mogul…

I basically went nuts when I came back to the hobby. This return coincided with discovery e-Bay and I purchased a bunch. Bottom line is that I have far more locomotives than I can very have on the layout. Also, I am unlikely to want to spend the money installing decoders in them all. At some point they will go back to e-bay, but so far I have not been able to part with one!!
