There have been many threads on this over the years. If you use the search function you will find them.

Just wondering how many locos folks here have?

I now have 16 British N scale locos and I can only run 7-8 max on my layout at a time. So I'll run my layout in "LMS mode," "GWR mode," or "early BR," depending on my mood.

I've been into model railways for 22 years (starting with 00) but into N for only 11. I sold many of my 00 locos to fund my N scale layout.

I feel like I'm at the saturation point now but am always tempted to buy more at shows. I suspect many people can relate, yet I do hear of guys who have just 4 or 5 locos and seem quite content.

EDIT: Thanks for these comments! Another question (which I realize some have answered): Do you use most of them?

Seeing Elton Bog sorry John must have been a surprise for you Martin @port perran (good or bad!). After "Your Song" it was downhill all the way for me. Reg though did live just a stones throw from where I grew up and started his musical career performing in the "Northwood Hills Hotel" public house - missed that!

No, EJ is most definitely not my cuppa either although, as I remember, it was quite exciting at the time wondering just who would turn up.

I have about ½ a dozen tracks by My Dying Bride but am very choosy. An awful lot of their stuff is dreadful

Very nice indeed @Moonglum .  I've never heard of Unicorn Heads but they are worth further investigation.

MDB is very pleasant @Newportnobby

Listening to a Moonglum Spotify playlist including this snazzy little groove by Unicorn Heads, it's called a "A Trip Around the Moon" sometimes known as "A Trip Around Newton Kyme" as @Nbodger knows...

Very nice...

Relax (and float downstream) for 10 minutes or so.........

And there tolls the death knell.
Australia could send out Head and Smith for a second innings and let the rest have a break
