How many locomotives do you have? Poll Results

I’m sure you’ll find the results of the last poll fascinating. I total of 860 people responded, with a staggering 43 % having eleven or more locomotives in their collection. Here are the detailed results:

1 = 16 votes (1%), 2 = 46 votes (5%), 3 = 57 votes (6%), 4 = 68 votes (7%), 5 = 60 votes (6%), 6 = 63 votes (7%), 7 = 55 votes (6%), 8 = 36 votes (4%), 9 = 29 votes (3%), 10 = 40 votes (4%), 11+ = 375 votes (43%), I don’t have any locos yet 15 votes (1%)

Here’s a great idea for a poll!! With the many loco’s everyone has.Here’s the poll question. How many railroads do you run? For me, I have 29 engines, which go to 10 railroads.

I have American Flyers’ “S” scale, 6 diesels, 30 steamers. (1) 334 Northern,Pacific, Atlantic,Pike, Switcher.Took 2 years to collect them off of E-Bay.90% percent run, the rest just need some parts to get them going. Last year bought a home, now I can start working on the layout. I am on a fixed income so it will take a little bit longer to get it up.

I have 11, 6 steam and 5 diesel. A couple of Old Varney die-cast steamers; one an old converted Dockside into a cab forward and one of my old favorites is a Casey Jones 10 wheeler.

Hi Robert,
I’m a lot late to pass on my locos quantity for the poll, but briefly I have 143 UK locos; 61 USA locos.
I’ve been collecting trains and rolling stock since 2001, and have slowed down lately.
Am in the process of re-setting a train room in the new house with a working space of 10 x 10 foot.
Gonna be tricky but fun.
