N-Scale Locomotive Roster

I'm afraid i've turned into somewhat of a collector of N-Scale locomotives. Actually I think it's a sickness. Everytime a new one comes out, I start getting the shakes. Anyway I thought I would get a website going to share what I've accumulated over the years. Here's a sample of two pages. Click on the link on the second page to go to the website.

Thomas,

I am not so much impressed by your quantity as I am the quality. Those are some nice, detailed looking units!!! Great close ups as well. I have bookmarked your site and would certainly love to see more (especially of the layout )

Very nicely done, my hats off to you!!!
If you are looking to sell or trade any of your CP stuff, I am more than willing to entertain the thought.

 

Jerry email me if you want some cp stuff I am selling quite a few engines including CP stuff.

 

rush2ny: not much of a layout at this time. I thought by now all the kids would be out on their own, but no such luck. I guess I'll have to wait a little longer until I can get that dream size layout. For now it's just a little layout with a big imagination.

Jerry: That CP unit is the only one I have. I decided on CP rather than the conrail loco in the SD80 Mac, which is the only two my train store had.

 

Thanks any way mate!!
I will have to find the units I am looking for another way.
I have few that I kinda jumped at when I saw them. I will eventually get rid of those.
I am trying to stay with CP and not mix too much.
Right now I have a pair Kato E8/9's, a pair of Kato RS2's, a pair of Atlas-Trainmasters all in maroon and grey. A pair of Atlas TH&B's, a Mikado (new) in Daluth, Winnipeg and Pacific.
An SD90 Mac, an SD40-2 Snoot, both Kato and an Atlas GP35 Maroon/Grey. And the stranger of the bunch, a BR86 steam-Kato..
So you see I am not doing too badly for someone two years in the hobby.
I like to have things in pairs , so I need to get another SD90 and SD40 and a Mikado and a Gp35.
I am a Kato nut, not to say Atlas does't have some good stuff.
I promised myself I would not deviate from Kato, but when I saw the Trainmasters and the gp9's in THB's colours I had to have them.
The best of the whole litter have to be the E8/9's and SD90, RS2's and SD40's.
I really believe we are in the "Good Old Days" of model railroading. We will look back and say that was some of the best ever.
Just my opinion, not yours!!

 

Jerry,
Looks like you got yourself a roster going also. I know what you mean about buying in pairs. I should have bought two of the Atlas Rio Grande SD-50s, instead I only bought one. You are doing good for only two years into the hobby as you said.

 

Sounds impressive, Jerry. I also wanted to stick with Kato, but Kato just doesn't do all the engines I want to have, thus I pick and choose.

Here's my roster for the BNSF/ATSF:

Atlas: 3xSD-60 (2 H2, 1H1), 2xSD-60M (EMD Demos)

Kato: 3xDash-9(1 H1, 1 H2, 1 ATSF), 2xSD40-2 (H2)

Bachmann: Dash-8, 4-8-4 Northern.

LifeLike: 2xE8/9

Whereas Kato and Atlas are pretty much consistant in their quality, Bachmann's and LifeLike's are to be judged on a case-by-case basis.

Bob

 

You can never have too many. I picked up an Atlas SD45 over the weekend painted in the Kodak (SPSF) colors!

 

Sorry see below
