I recently purchased a bachmann spectrum 2-10-2 in C&IM livery. #603
An E60CP #971, currently being kitabshed into an E60MA #603. The real #971 was sold off to NJ Transit and never rebuilt into an MA. I just chose #603 because it is the only MA preserved
An E33, N&W #235 which is due for a repaint soon, tenetively Penn Central #4604, (what the real #235 ended up being renumbered).
I am waiting on a K-4 Kanawha. I have a USRA heavy Mountain and a USRA light Mallet to test.

3 truck shay -W.M. Ritter lumber Co. #19. I will eventually try to modify it to look like CPLT no. 2. First I have to figure out how to put that backup light on the cab roof. This will be fun...
Hopefully, a 44 tonner is next.
Recently obtained another Spectrum 2-6-6-2 and am waiting for additional news/reports on the newly released Berkshire before I commit to acquire at least one of those.
I bought a defective Climax today from work. Drive shaft keeps comming loose. I think i found the way to fix it. Also i have sitting at my desk to buy a 2nd C&O Kanawaha, 2-8-0 B&O 4-4-0 B&O Old Timer in Royal Blue(LOOKS GREAT!) a 2nd 4-4-0 Oldtimer(Jupiter), a 4-6-0 Low Boiler Undec. and some other things.

I run four of Bmann's Shays and one Climax.....HO scale.
The only other loco on my layout is a Mantua 2-6-6-2T.

I just received my Berkshire in the mail the other day (you may read my comments on the 2-8-4 thread). I had previously gotten an undecorated 4-6-0 Spectrum but haven't had a chance to try it out yet.

Can you describe your Mantua logger in a few sentences? I am planning to buy it.
Thanks!
P.S. Of Bachmann engines, I have Shay, B&O 2-8-0 and PRR GE 44-tonner, all Spectrum. My saddletank PRR 0-6-0 is on the way! ;)
Steam only. No Bachmann diesels, I think.
3 x 2-10-0
6 x 2-8-0*
2 x 4-6-0 low drivers
3 x Light 4-8-2
2 x Heavy 4-8-2**
*Approx. number. Four in service, at least two are still boxed and at least two of the boxed engines are scheduled for conversion to 2-8-2s.
** Possibly another still in the box.
In addition there are: -
1 x 0-6-0 Life-Like P2K
1 x 0-8-0 Life-Like P2K
2 x 4-6-2 Athearn Genesis
2 x 2-8-2 Athearn Genesis
3 x 2-10-2 (Two versions) President's Choice aka IHC Premier Gold Series.
We are still looking forward to a "modern" 2-6-0 as well as "modern" versions of the Spectrum 4-6-0 with smooth dome and sandbox and piston valves.
I just recently picked up a 4-4-0 Old Timer B&O Royal Blue, and a Peter Witt Street car, both run perfactly.
I added a Light 2-10-2, with DCC, to go with my Tsumami 2-10-2. The Tsunami can be configured to make sounds for double headed locos, so a second sound decoder is not necessary in the new loco. I just have to speed match the two.
.
My most recent locomotive was Gordon from the Thomas the Tank Engine series. I also have a Baldwin 2-8-0 consolidation, unlettered.
My latest is a Spectrum 2-8-0 with sound. It started out as a Southern loco but now is CNR. Must say I'm impressed with the looks, operation and sound!
I also have a light mountain and a decapod.
Just got a Pennsy 4-6-2 or K4 with sound and it sure does sound great and run excellent at slow speeds. Great engine. Larry
