Breakdown of Engines By Make-Revisited

I have:

3 Atlas O w/TMCC (+1 dummy)
3 MTH (former PS-1 but now TMCC)
1 Weaver (now TMCC)
5 lionel
1 K-line/Lionel (it was k-line when I pre-ordered it but was delivered in a Lionel box)
1 K-line Plymouth

I have 2 MTH engines (ps2) and one MTH trolley. I also have one ps-3 engine on order.

I re-entered the hobby in 2011, probably getting close to all that I want for a while. What I have so far:

 

  1 Lionel Legacy

15 MTH PS-2 & PS-3

 

All are diesels, no steam.

 

There is 1 Lionel diesel in the new 2014 catalog I will probably order, so that would make it Lionel 2. No idea what the MTH catalog will have, so can't say there yet. I like them both (as well as Atlas) and agree that Lionel has the best sound by my ear anyway. However, MTH has had many more offerings in my chosen road name than Lionel since I got back in the hobby.

all diesel

1 Atlas np

14 MTH

PS2 AND PS3 2 and 3 rail mix

DCS controlled

started this hobby 1 year ago.

Busy down-sizing, but as of tonight I have;

 

51 - Lionel

2 - MTH

9 - Atlas"O"

1 - 3rd Rail

Most everything is TMCC/Legacy equipped; the two MTH PS-1's will likely be converted to ERR TMCC boards. The Atlas"O" units will likely get ERR Cruise upgrades.

Includes only locos and trolleys I have now: does not include current pre-orders (2 Lionel, 4 MTH), or those I gave away or junked for spare parts, etc. 

Atlas - 2

I have:

 

2 Lionel Legacy

2 Lionel TMC

2 Lionel postwar

1 Weaver

MTH: 86 (Proto-1, Proto-2, Proto-3, & non-powered collected over almost 20 years)

Lionel: 3

Atlas: 9

Williams: 2

Sunset/3rd Rail: 3

Weaver: 1

 

I now have retro-active sticker shock. Thank you very much.

The solution, I have discovered, is to buy a nice new model locomotive.  Don't worry about the price: tell yourself it is a bargain, because if you wait, the next time they bring out a PS4 or Vision Plus version of it, it will cost twice as much.  

Rod,

     I have the following all except the 2 MTH are Legacy or TMCC:

 

          Lionel 8 (47%)

          Kline  6 (36%)

          MTH   2 (11.5%)

          Atlas  1 (5.5%)

 

    The two MTH engines do not have sound only a whistle/horn and bell. I have not purchased any MTH engines for a long time.

 

13 are PRR (77%), 3 NS (17%), 1 Nabisco (6%)

 

JohnB

MTH 50 %

Lionel 37%

Atlas O 12%

Other 1%

90% Lionel

9% Kline

1% Williams.

With only 2 years in O gauge:

 

Lionel=1

MTH=10 converted one to TMCC, will convert 2 more to TMCC

Atlas=3

KLine=1

 

After having operated the above for the past 1 1/2, my further purchases will be Lionel and Atlas. Knowing what I know now,I am really unhappy with several of my MTH purchases.

WOW! I never considered what my roster consisted of and couldn’t have imagined nearly half of it is the Mighty Sound of Steam. Thinking 2 more at the top of my acquisition list are also Mighty Sound of Steam; I’m gonna have one heck of a cheesily annoying display by the end of the year. Maybe it’s time to look at the Lionchief plus offerings.

Wow Lee! I've been back into O Gauge for almost 3 years now with my 6 engines.  I had no idea anyone would have 158 engines! You must really be into it.  Impressive.

 

Vern

Rough estimates out of about 50 locos from the last 25 years:

 

Lionel 70%

K-Line 15%

MTH    10% (PS1 or earlier converted to TMCC)

Atlas, RMD, 3rd Rail (1 each) 5%

I have several older Lionel engines, probably around 12.

 

2 pre war Lionel steam engines

3 post war Lionel steam engines

2 post war Lionel diesel engines

1 modern Lionel

11 Williams(before Bachmann) diesel engines

3 MTH PS-2; one steam and two diesels

1 MTH PS-3 diesel

1 RMT trolley

1 K-Line Interurban set

 

No Atlas or WBB engines as of yet.

Thank you.  You can never have too much power, or too many locomotives.

 

When I looked at this last night as I was posting it, what jumped out at me is that the single 3rd Rail loco I have (an ATSF 2900 Northern, for which I paid full list price) cost just what all 28 of the RMT BEEPS, BANGS, and BEEFs I have (I don't think I paid close to list for any of them, and many I got for more than half off).   .    But then it hit me: I don't know which I'd choose if I had to pick one or the other: in some sense they are worth about the same to me, so that is as it should be.

I must admit that I'm not a trouble maker . And, I will behave myself  My inventory is easy . Only 16 engines. You'll have to figure the numbers out .

Here's my statistics:

Lionel (Conv)         - 68    38.0%

RMT (Conv)          - 2       1.1%

Williams (Conv)      - 5      2.8%

 

Keep your eyes open in the For Sale forum a few months from now as I plan to sell many of my conventional engines.

Mine are

 

Lionel (Legacy)       58

Lionel (TMCC)         72

Lionel (LionChief)     9

Lionel (Conv)        220

K-Line (TMCC)          1

K-Line (Conv)           8

MTH    (Conv)           4

RMT    (Conv)           3

 

In a few days I will be downsizing some of my Conventional & TMCC.

So far, i have the following:-

 

Lionel - 21 (2 LionChief, 3 Conventional, 2 TMCC, 14 Legacy)

WBB - 1

 

My O gauge locomotives:

 

Marx   - 1

Lionel  - 6 (2 are dummies, and 1 on preorder.)

MTH    - 9 (All are PS-1 equipped, but thinking of converting some to TMCC.)

K-Line - 3 (All factory RS/TMCC equipped.)

 

Power make up is :

 

Steam    - 9

Diesel    - 7

Electric   - 2

Gasoline - 1

 

I think the only reason I have so many MTH is because I prefer conventional running so I could get PS-1 equipped locomotives cheap secondhand.  Now that I'm starting to consider command, future locomotive purchases will be weighted toward TMCC/Leagcy equipped locomotives.  But in the end, I have no real brand loyalties, I just get whichever I like when I want that's available and in my budget.

My modest lot:

 

Lionel, postwar - 7

Lionel, MPC - 8

RMT - 3

MTH - 1

Williams - 1

 

All conventional.
