Herc Driver's Engine Roster

[Herc Driver]

Oh not to worry - I didn't think that was a slam at me at all!

I completely agree...I have too many and really don't need all the loco's I have now. But I wanted them...and therein lies the problem. And somewhere along the line...I think my LHS owner figured that out and purposely buys some interesting or current diesels to tempt me. I don't think he has many other Nscalers in our area so whatever he buys is either something that caught his eye or something one of us wanted - and he orders two in case someone else likes it.

I've tended to run in phases...I started with a Southern roster, then Norfolk Southern, then adding some of the western roads as my LHS got them in. Somewhere along the line I decided to pick up each type of diesel I admired for either design or historical significance. And that's where I am now...too many for my own good! If I had decoders in every one of them though...I'd run them all (or at least park them on the layout waiting assignments). I'm only adding diesels now if they're something I've been waiting on for a while (BNSF in HIII colors), or of unusual design (like the DD40AX) or special paint job (SD70ACe in UP Heritage Rio Grande colors).

I will start taking pictures of them today! I'll post as many as I have time to take.
