Number of locos

Chris Morris · January 23, 2021, 06:40:44 PM

I just need one more. That's been the case for as long as I remember.

Not everything is catalogued, but 105 are.

Problem with the Limas is, that certain models were available ONLY from Lima...

Between my US locomotives and British ones, probably around 350.

I am now feeling much more relaxed, now that I know there is at least one other n gauge modeller with more stock than I have!!!

And I'm still not admitting how many locos I have.

Just glanced at my spreadsheet which says 271 but I know they are not all on there...

Locos or stock?
Thanks mainly to Revolution's Class A and B tanks, and Accurascale's Cemflos I have almost £5k of wagons, and I'm a southern modeller. We don't do freight!

Well all I can say, having read the original post and some of the answers, is that the majority of the respondents must be i) single, or ii) have a Chief Accountant who is not that good at her/his job, or iii) a partner who takes no interest in the other halfs hobby, or iv) some of you are very good at hiding what the postman brings. In my case, whilst married, I have a partner who is i) not too bothered about what I spend on the hobby - as long as the bills get paid, plus, ii) I am at home all day, whilst Louisa is out at work, so she very rarely sees the postman.

. And in answer to the original question - a lot, but I am going to be thinning my UK stuff down, but only because I seem to have acquired quite a few USA stuff

I'm blushing. Thank you. 😊

Pretty modest compared to many! About 100 locos I think. Virtually nothing "rule 1", aside from a Eurostar and two FGW/GWR HSTs everything is WCML, post-2010 stock.

Mrs njee20 knows what it all costs (or at least she has access to the spreadsheet and I don't hide it), and I actually had most items out today trying to sort out the boxes items from the empty boxes where stuff's in stock boxes. I do probably have too many 66s though.

There's only one that matters in my collection.....

Bigmac · January 23, 2021, 11:44:34 PM

i rejoined the n gauge model railway world in june 2018...after a 25 year hiatus. i wanted to collect models i saw--or could have--in my trainspotting years in the early 60's..starting with LM region..Western region and standards--even black or green diesels. Mostly what i saw in the Birmingham area--including those wonderful sunday diversions when the Trent Valley was closed for electrification and expresses went within easy reach of my home.

Then a chance opportunity to buy a dapol terrier freshwater in olive green southern livery added another dimension.

i think ive topped the 50 mark now.

a question--maybe for a new thread--What are your favourite 3 locos--and why ?

i spotted the real thing at Birmingham New street station a few times in the early 60's.

Cool!

I'm in the starting out stage but I think I'm at 9 locos, 5 DMUs, 2 HSTs and a random Budd RDC set that was bought for a micro layout that never got beyond the idea stage.

I have 2 HSTs on order along with the LNER 800. A few more being eyed up.

I should perhaps crack on and finish the baseboards first...
