It is nice to see a historic thread being revived and added to.I won't add my updated roster.I still have a problem and am currently seeking help for it.
hey Mitchell do you have any pictures you can share with us ? what modern ore cars are you using ? thank you... steve w.
Roster of the Laughing Lion Railroad: Atlas GP-7 Maine Central Atlas GP-9 B & M Atlas RS-11 Maine Central Atlas GP-38 New England Central that's it.........but we are a new line on a tight budget :teeth: Mike
Well, these are HO - but Seaboard Air Line 17 models - 36 units Atlantic Coast Line 4 models - 6 units Southern Railway 6 models - 9 units Piedmont-Southern (free-lance) 4 models - 9 units
The real question is, how many of you actually run all those engines. My fleet is only about 30 units, but most of them have barely ever run. I'm fixing that problem. One guy who has a small fleet actually has a really nice large layout. I thought that was interesting.
Modeling D&RGW Era 1 staging (1950-1960) Although the Grande dieselized rapidly during this decade, steam could still be seen in the early 1950s. The road would later become an all-EMD shop, but a few Alcos (S2, RS-3, and PA/PB) were in use, as were Baldwin switchers (H15/44). 104 Alco S2 (Arnold) 107 Alco S2 (Arnold) 150 Baldwin H15-44 (Atlas) 151 Baldwin H15-44 (Atlas) 1804 Baldwin 4-8-4 Class M-68 (Con-Cor) 3804 Schenectady 4-6-6-4 Class L-97 (Athearn, on order) 5100 EMD GP-7 (Atlas) 5200 Alco RS-3 (Kato) 5201 Alco RS-3 (Kato) 5202 Alco RS-3 (Kato) 5300 EMD SD-7 (Atlas) 5301 EMD SD-7 (Atlas) 5302 EMD SD-7 (Atlas) 5303 EMD SD-7 (Atlas) 5304 EMD SD-7 (Atlas) 5401 EMD FT-A (MT) 5402 EMD FT-B (MT) 5451 EMD FT-A (MT) 5452 EMD FT-B (MT) 5481 EMD FT-A (IM) 5482 EMD FT-B (IM) 5491 EMD FT-A (IM) 5492 EMD FT-B (IM) 5521 EMD F3-A (Kato) 5522 EMD F3-B (Kato) 5523 EMD F3-B (Kato) 5524 EMD F3-A (Kato) 5531 EMD F3-A (Kato) 5532 EMD F3-B (Kato) 5533 EMD F3-B (Kato) 5534 EMD F3-A (Kato) 5541 EMD F3-A (Kato) 5542 EMD F3-B (Kato) 5543 EMD F3-B (Kato) 5544 EMD F3-A (Kato) 6001 Alco PA-1 (Kato) 6002 Alco PB-1 (Kato) 6003 Alco PA-1 (Kato) Wish list: 3 more GP-7s 2 A-B-B-A F7 sets If I win the lottery, I'm going to stock up on GP-30s, GP-40s, and SD-45s for an Era 2 staging (1960-1970).
Traingeekboy - In answer to your question; while I have a small layout and my mainline only amounts to a third of a mile plus, I want to duplicate those 1960's "dogs breakfast" lash-ups of makes and models. Since I have ~30 mainline units, they will be divided into "lines north" and "lines south", even if off-layout. Engine consists will be based on drawing cards for the engines on a particular train from either "north" or "south", and what is appropriate for a local or through freight. Hopefully, in this way I'll be able to duplicate some of those lash-ups common on the Seaboard in the 1960's. Since my branch line will only see one or two trains per day to a deadend, all power will be drawn from the "west" end.
Can we get a pic of this?? Kitbashed? Any chance of a 3600 in your fleet? A 3550-series? I've got the 70/80's covered pretty well..

Hey, as long as it gives you that glazed happy look, it's all good. My big frustration is that when I was financially capable of having a loco habit most of what I wanted wasn't being made yet. Now they make the stuff, but I'm busy supporting a family. Grrrr... Wish I could afford to get one of those Rs11 units with DCC in N scale. Perhaps when I retire.
Holy Cow. If my wife sees some of these rosters, she'll realize how much catching up I have to do. My roster -- all will eventually be PRR 3 Bachmann Consolidations 2 Kato Mikados 2 Atlas RS3 1 Atlas GP7 2 LL SW1200 1 ER Sharknose (AB) 1 Atlas GP35 1 RR Heavy Pacific (chopped up, needs lots of work) 1 LL FA1/FB1 1 LL PA1/PB1 2 LL GP18 (in pieces right now) 1 Doodlebug (local passenger traffic) Geez, more than I thought.

My roster hasn't grown much since this thread was first started. I think you can add a SD90MAC, and about 4 more SD40-2's in UP paint.

My layout at it's biggest point measures 39" x 27" and a shelf branch that measures 18" x 5'....more then enough motive power for a layout this size.
My loco roster hasn't grown that much. There are 36 diesels with decoders, usually in ABBA consists, and 17 steamers. My inactive roster is about the same size--older stuff that doesn't have decoders. I have an inventory around someplace--I guess I should find it and update it.
