Oh dear, thanks to you chaps I just did a rough quick count and I stopped at 80 the Domestic Overlord will kill me.

And I have not even counted the GWR stock or SR stock or the continental suff, and the other scales HELP

A sobering thought, for those with 80+ locos , replacement cost would be about 10 grand .
Hope you're well insured !  :D

That is scary, although I only have 10 at the moment. On the other hand around 70 wagons and about 2 dozen coaches....., not to mention the track waiting to be laid....

Over 40 class 66s, a bit over the top. Didn't count the rest.

I don't even want to think about rolling stock

I use a database program for logging my locos/rolling stock. Current replacement value around £12k - although some are probably difficult to replace.
Frightening.... Not insured other than house insurance. Maybe I should think about proper insurance??  :hmmm:
Size matters - especially if you don't have a lot of space - and N gauge is the answer!

I was advised by my house insurance NOT to declare as a collection (that would mean if one item is stolen it reduces the value of the remaining (think pairs of vases etc.)  Keep a database (with photos) and as many receipts as you can.   must admit my database only covers my main continental fleet not all the other stuff and the other scales!

When my house insurance came up for renewal last December, I rang the insurance company and asked if the collection should be insured separately as it had, (up to then), cost me over €10k.  ( :o). I was told that they would put a note on my file, but as long as the collection was not taken out of the house, I would be covered under the contents part.

I used to be indecisive - now I'm not - I don't think.
If a friend seems distant, catch up with them.

Just did a count up 116 locos, didn't think I had 11 A4's though. Need a few more really....

Hello.
I've just checked.
I have 51 motorized engines in N scale/gauge. Out of which:
- 7 are US/Canada
- 7 are Japanese
- 17 are British
- 21 are continental
- 5 are for sale
- 3 are stored to reuse their chassis

On my shopping list, I have:
- 2 continental for sure + 2 "maybe"
- 2 British for sure + 2 "maybe"

In OO9, I have 5 locomotives. And in Z, I have 4 engines out of which 1 is for sale.
In OO9, 2 engines are planned. No more purchase in Z scale planned.

I have far too much stuff...  :angel:

Sound the fanfare- I've stopped collecting Gresley Pacifics (for now).  I have one for each appropriate diagram on both exhibition layouts with a spare for each - and one or two left over.

OTOH I've bought a Farish A1 (then sold it on again after I discovered I'd bought Tornado by mistake) and three more Dapol B1s.

The excuse for the latter is that Croft Spa needs more mixed traffic locos and with two lamped to run in reverse on Hawthorn Dene's coal empties and two more for local passenger I didn't have a spare for the gunpowder train or any to put on fitted freights. 


I'm also looking out for another Farish WD or two as 90344 won't run on Croft Spa ( no reason to stop a WD to show off its sound), leaving only 90011 and 90014 for two workings with no spare.

Still also looking for two green V2s capable of hauling 9-coach trains.....

You will have gathered that although the fleet is large a good deal of it is allocated to specific trains.
