You mean I’ve got to count them, write down the road numbers and the manufacturer!

That will take days!

With well over 150 engines in the pile, I’ve got too many to list! The fleet will undergo a major purge this year, and I hope to wind up with “only” 75 engine or so. Most of the fleet is steam, with every major manufacturer of non-brass engines being represented. As for brass, I’ve got NKP, Overland, Alco, United and Oriental. I think the top two manufacturers in my fleet, in terms of overall numbers, are Life Like (proto) and Mantua.

I’m taking the easy way out. Here’s a link to pictures and descriptions of my limited number of locomotives. The Kato Dash 9 is the best running diesel, and the Kato C57 is my favorite steamer.
