Like many of us, I've been in the hobby for most of my life (44+ years and counting), and after 15+ solid years of collecting O gauge trains I've got more than enough engines and rolling stock to enjoy. You know you have too many trains when every closet in your house is filled with at least 50% train boxes, you need more than one 4 x 8 display case, and your train layout also doubles as additional storage.
My formula for keeping or selling trains is simple- if I like it and it's different, I keep it. I also like trains I see, so those tend to stay longer. But if it's common and I have alot of them, I don't mind selling off a few of them. Last year I sold off about 30 freight cars- this year I'll be selling off some MTH Autoracks, possibly even a few Lionel diesels, to make room for new stuff.
