I'm sure I'm not alone in possessing more than one model of certain locos - maybe a new version of an old model or different liveries etc.
So........just for a bit of fun I present my steam ones:-

40015 lead loco. 40012 behind.
12 has more crisper letters numbers and looks sharper in detail. The side grilles on the China version look a lot sharper and of course 15 was made in Poole without a dcc ready equipment plus the old metal block under the body. 12 runs more smoother

@Newportnobby , would you be kind enough to tell us/me what your locos are i.e. Class and manufacturer, some I know and some I readily don't! And, possibly the date of manufacture e.g. the two Castles are Graham Farish, the rear one being Poole and the front one being China (I think).
Many thanks,

I do have another 2 x 08s similar to the blue and 3 x Class 25s and a 24 or Type 2 but not showing
I have numerous locos running in different liveries mainly due to changing chief engineers, mergers and costs of the pre grouping Southern.

Without boasting, far too many to photograph.....
All these locos have running numbers appropriate to East Anglia, particularly 30A, 30F, 31B, 32A, or 32B. The odd loco with a non GER section shed allocation is replicated from photos of use in the area. If the manufacturers' choice of number is suitable (eg the B17s), then it is left, otherwise all have been renumbered and, if appropriate, renamed (Parkeston's B1s had a nice series of numbers of the B1 'namers').
For use on JS, I take;
3 x cl15
3 x 20
4 x 24
5 x 31 (includes toffee apple/skinhead variants)
3 x 37
2 x 40 + 2 Poole home
5 x J39 (Farish) + 2 UM at home
7 x Farish B1, + 2 kit at home
5 x Dapol Britannia, + 4 Minitrix at home
2 x B17
2 x Austerity
1 x N2, +1 at home.
2 x 2 car Cl 101 DMUs, + 1 Poole at home
1 x cl 101 3-car, + 1 Poole at home.
These are not all used at the same time on JS, but are used to 'ring the changes' and even out usage.
I now have far too many locos, as the large layout which I'd built and used up most of these has now been dismantled, due to a house move, so all are now living in boxes and awaiting the next exhibition or my new-as yet undecided-layout.

I've always really liked that SE&CR green livery :heart2:

Did you do this to taunt me?
Honestly.... I'm not playing
Maybe try and limit it to something you only have two of, Bob. Difficult for you, I know :D
E.g. I have 5 Westerns so which do I choose?
But I only have 2 class 22s so I'll get a pic of those as one is pristine and the other is weathered
I don't particularly like 66s, but they're just too ubiquitous these days! This after I sold quite a few!

I do have an ancient OO gauge one! A few locos in multiple scales too, but not quite the array you've managed! I do like those Aristocraft 66s.
4 multiples only each runner paired with a non-runner so not popping up photos
Minitrix Ivatt tenders
Minitrix 9F locos

Graham Farish 47s
Boring I know!
Oh goodness, for me it is Merchant Navy and BOB/WC pacifics. I have 6 of the new Farish, and I think 6 of the original Farish? I could probably build another 2 from parts of the original Farish...
Could be a brilliant Bulleid fest if I got them all running at one time!

Well, both are members of the German BR 05 class. :)
In fact both are the same locomotive, 05 003! :goggleeyes:
"Class" is a bit exaggerated as there were only three BR 05 locomotives. The first two were built in 1935 (05 002 made the steam speed record in 1936 which Mallard captured two years later), and 05 003 followed in 1937.
This was built by Borsig as a cab-forward to show the Reichsbahn that steam locomotives too could offer the same good forward visibility like electrics and those pesky little SVT diesel streamliners. The SVTs were seen as a threat to the locomotive industry as they weren't involved in building them – coachbuilders and engine makers could churn them out without the need for locomotive builders.
Oil-firing would be the logical way to go for a cab-forward but Borsig also wanted to emphasize that locomotives could use domestic coal instead of wasting diesel oil (which the Wehrmacht needed in huge quantities) for the SVTs. No problem, pulverised coal could be used instead of oil, and pressurised air would blow it the mere 14 metres from the tender to the firebox in front.
Well, that worked just as well as it reads. :no:
After standing around in a corner of the Borsig factory for a few years, another brilliant idea emerged in 1944. "Just building war 2-10-0s is soooo boring. Let's turn the boiler around and make 05 003 a conventional coal-burning locomotive. You know, 'Wheels must roll for victory'" (written on tenders during the war) – "Excellent idea! Of course what the Reichsbahn now needs most is a 110-mph express locomotive." ::)
That happened and, as the streamlining had been removed, a rather nice 4-6-4 appeared in February 1945. And then only made one journey from Berlin to western Germany when the Red Army was knocking on Borsig's doors.
With eight consecutive liveries available in N (three cab-forwards from Lemke Collection and five unstreamlined from Arnold), the 05 003 must be up there with Flying Scotsman regarding different liveries. Not bad for an engine that was scrapped after only 20 years of service.
Very interesting. Thanks for posting that.
I always think it is interesting to compare the same prototypes made by different manufacturers and even more so when looking at old kit-built examples and later RTR models.
I have a few examples "seeing double" in my collection that fall into this category:
1. Minitrix LNER Class A3 and A4 models compared to Graham Farish and Dapol versions
2. Langley LNER Class B1 kit and the Graham Faish B1.
3. NuCast LNER Class J27 kit and the Union Mills J27.
4. Parkwood Class 17 Clayton resin print and the EFE Clayton
5. Heritage N Prototype Deltic resin print and the Graham Farish version
There are several more examples but I will stop there.
Talking of duplication, I recall one NGF member who had about thirty Western Class 52 hydraulics (out of a class of 74 locos). Apologies for not remembering the Forum member's name (will the guilty party please identify themselves?)
This made me think. While it may be a task too far to own a model of every Class 52, I wondered if anyone had a complete collection of a more modest class of locos (in terms of numbers)?
For example, does anyone have a collection of all twenty-two Deltics?
Inquiring minds want to know!
