I plan on adding more class 47's to my fleet too.   I bet no one can guess what my favorite class of loco is can they.

I currently have 20 n gauge locos,15 OO locos, 1 O gauge and 2 On30.

Do you have layouts for each scale?
I forgot I have 3 t-gauge  locos as well, as to layouts I have n, t and oo proper layouts at various levels of completion and O gauge shunting plank.

9    Santa Fe Steamers of varying years and sizes from dockyard shunters 040 to a BigBoy
15  BNSF Swoosh and C44-9w in H1, H2 and Black & Gold

At least that's what the DB shows at the moment. Plus others that aren't listed that are up for sale as I try to get it down to what I really want.

Then there's my HO.........

New layout in progress at present which is U shaped approx 4m x 5m x 4m being built in Unitrack

Vomit bonnet indeed! I think the best looking diesel of all time from anywhere is the Santa Fe Alco PA/PB in warbonnet colours - vomit bonnet colours I assume. My old steamers are also Santa Fe. The 2-8-8-2 Mallet has pride of place.

With well over 100 locos, I suspect you have over a thousand freight cars - yikes!

Me :not enough!
The wife :way too many
Love to have more but like many of us family/money restricts the buys. So what I'm trying to get one of each to give me variety

Vomit bonnet is a War bonnet design in BNSF exec colour scheme - not to be confused with the Red or Yellow War Bonnet

Ps Rolling stock fills an 6 drawer filling cabinet plus 2 x 80 litr packing crates in the shed of unsorted stuff.

Thanks

I learned something useful today. The loco in the picture is a handsome specimen. Where do they get the vomit nomenclature from?

I just realised I missed my 6 GP/SD range of Burlington (Red) as opposed to BN (green) and my 6 Old timer locos of the list

I presume your layout is not a shunting puzzle..... :D

I dunno ... with that number, more like a nightmare than a puzzle  :no:

That list reads more like Hattons N gauge inventory!
???
Size matters - especially if you don't have a lot of space - and N gauge is the answer!

Needs a few more wagons too. Assuming a 10 coach train, that's 33 passenger trains, leaving 110 locos. Divide into wagons that's only about 11 wagons per loco... :)
