Do you feel you "have enough" trains?

I thought I would hit a limit but it has not happened yet. I have over the past few years sold off some items but not that many. And everytime a catalog comes out  I seem to find something that I want. So I have to say that until there are no more catalogs I will still be finding something to buy............Paul 2

I do have enough trains; but there are always new catalogs to check out in the future.  I'm sure I'll purchase something else.

Quite frankly, YES! But then again, I am NOT a collector.

Plenty, but that doesn't totally preclude buying something else.   However, I have actually been selling a few items to make space for incoming stock.

The short answer is “No”. While my collection is not large, and I could certainly keep myself busy with what I have, the reality is I have just as much fun scouring shows and buying what jumps out at me, as I do running them when they get home.

That'll never happen.  I suppose the rate limiting step will be the simple issue of having to keep most everything in a single room of finite size...but that's not a problem for the foreseeable future.

Seriously…

My want's and needs constantly change so I usually buy 3 sell 1.

I have been rolling this issue around for a couple of years.  I have sold some things but I have also bought more items than I have sold.  If only the manufacturers would stop bring out new stuff like the Krauss Maffei and the articulated passenger cars in SP Lines from Sunset.  I also am still seeking a DM&IR Yellowstone 2-8-8-4 since my Grandfather was an engineer on one in the 40's.  Oh well, so much for downsizing!

Yes.  I’m done.    Now I look for Lionel Plasticville only

I've got 3 good dual engine Switchers, 1 good dual engine FA-3, 12 tinplate cars, and 14 regular cars.

If I can pick up one more small modern switcher, one no-nonsense, non-derailing, non-stalling,  short steamer, and maybe 3 more tinplate cars, then Yes, I am done.

Happily (for me at least), I'm not in this to build a collection.  I'll leave it to you experts.

Way to many more fun things I want to buy that don't involve me sitting in the basement for hours on end.  :-)

Jet Ski?

New Rifle?

Small fishing boat?

At 24 years old, I only really would like a couple steam engines and a few diesels that have yet to be made yet added on. Rolling stock wise, I would like an Autorack Train, but after that’s said in done, pretty much it’s maybe a loco once in a while, but that is it.

You never know what is enough until you know what is more than enough.

You know the old saying: "You can't be too rich, too thin or have enough trains".  Or something like that.

But - I am not thin, not rich and I definitely had enough trains about 20 years ago. 'Course, I kept getting them (they kept offering new types) and now I actually get bothered by how many I have. I don't buy any more.

So, yeah - if you think you have enough, you do. If I had only listened to that little voice....

Short answer: heck no! While my younger sister gives me a hard time every time I buy one; telling me "no more trains". Instead whenever I see one that interests me, I still buy it.

Granted, my storage unit is almost full with my collection and along with saving up for a house and for a family cruise this time next year, I have a lot on my plate. But then again, those MTH final runs are on my list...

More than enough--far more--with more on the way.

No.

Way more. But I don’t care. Actually my want list is pretty short but I scour every catalog in the hopes of being tempted.

It's funny that most of us started with this hobby with just a single train. We were happy with that at one time. Interesting.
