I maintain 44 engines, all but two run and I'm getting motors for them. They range in age from 40 years to new.  17 Steam engines, 26 Diesel engines and one Electric engine.  6 Bachmann, 2 Fleischmann, 2 Arnold Rapido, 1 Roco, 10 Rivarossi, 6 Minitrix, 5 Concor/Kato, 12 Lifelike/Walthers.      To be cont........!

I don't exactly know how many I have, maybe around 20. My most notable are my Precision Craft Models E8A-B set with sound, Model Power Pennsy Pacific, Bachmann F7 A-B set, Bachmann Brill Trolley, Erie Lackawana RS-3, and a Japanise Thomas the Tank Engine.

I bought a lot of engines last year and only 4 so far this year.

Steam

15 Bachman spectrum Connies - I really like them
03 Bachman spectrum 2-6-6-2
02 Bachman spectrum Light Mountains
02 Bachman spectrum Heavy Mountains
03 Bachman 2-6-0
02 Athearn Challenger
02 Athearn Big Boy
02 Metal Power 4-4-0
01 Metal Power Heavy Mountain

I have probably about 20 Diesels but I don't really care for Diesel at least right now and I don't even want to bother listing them. 
Although the SD90 is my favorite diesel followed by the AC4400.  So I definitely got some Kato copies of them.


PRRThomas11

Wow, 2 challengers and 2 big boys. :o That must be pretty expensive.

Well yeah but I didn't buy them.
My girl friend surprised me with them after she saw me drooling at them at a hobby shop.  So I guess now I gotta buy her something expensive too

PRR Thomas.
You're right.  I got a girl friend who buys me trains and looks for deals online and finds out when they got trains shows or hobby events where they sale stuff and drags me to those because she knows I would like them.
Maybe she's the one who's into this hobby and is playing it off of me.

Still waiting on that M1 from "you know who", and would really really love a K4... or P7...
