Nup... Not a single thing matches.. I should also mention that the image is not representative of the state of my set - hence the reason for my shift to Marklin.. |

The count is now up to 36 locos. Summer vacations in Denmark was... "Productive" ;-)
Among the two new ones where my very first Märklin digital with 5 pole high efficiency motor. (Very nice Re 4/4" from the mega-starter set 2004)
Oh, the other one was an older V160. Very nice also ;-)
(Count of passenger coaches also went up... hehe) |

I own 20 loks and two railbuses. One electric lok, the rest steam and Diesel. The count was around 35 in 2002 (2 in 1998 when I joined the hobby after a looong break). I had bought too many loks pointing in all directions. I sold about 20 of them. Now I only buy Era 3 and some early Era 4. I don't think I'll buy many more loks since I find happiness in the ones I already own. I have a lok that matches each of the different consists of cars I have.
I have a few loks and cars on my list I would like to have sooner or later: -The V80 -The era 3 glaskasten (Because it looks sooooo good) -The new Schienenbus [:p] -A set of Langenschwalbacher Waggons [:p] -A Moha milkwagon

Yes it does. Anticipation is a large part of the fun of obtaining a collection. Luckily, Marklin releases so many good loks from year to year, that we have anticipation all the time!  |

Just made a new count... Now I have 25 H0 locos (just bought myself a 3425 Kittel), 1 Gauge 1 Loco (55003) and 2 Z gauge locos. (two Messemodelle, as souvenirs from the Nürnberger Messe) To come this year: 37141, 26535...

(Does this sound convincing?) By the way: I don't agree with Spoetnik, I still love having all the locos I own now. But there's one truth: I always envy another (extra) model. That's no strange behavior for a collector right? [:P] Luckily, I don't have a FD (yet). |

Intersting question. I had to make a statistics for my locomotives on my PC before beeing able to reply. If I made it correct: 39 steam engines 22 diesel engines 27 electric locomotives Of these (totally 88) only two are analog due to their age. I will keep them in the original condition. 87 of these are Märklin. In addition I have 17 function models and cars with a decoder. My biggest problem: I have no layout yet, but in a few years...

Hi everyone,
I have about 80 locos, most of them diesel (thereof 8 type 132 former Deutsche Reichsbahn (ex-GDR) or new type 232 DB), some electro and a few steamers. Thanks to this thread I was remembered to prepare a new listing of my rolling stock. |

Well when my 3047 arrives I will have 3 loks, I am envious of those of you with much better incomes and have sizeable fleets of loks. Hopefully I will get into this nurses aid training program, it will lead to much better pay and benefits for my family. Cheers Mike |
