I have 2 of the same locomotive

I have a few duplicates that have been renumbered. Fairly easy on MTH engines as the numbers can be removed without damaging the paint. Same with Lionel. Other brands may take a bit more effort as the base paint can be affected by whatever you use to try and remove the lettering.

I do.  None in O gauge.  I have two American Flyer 322 Hudsons, both smoke in tender units.  One is minty, the other needs more work than I do, so I'm keeping it for parts.

I have a couple 8020 and 8021 Alcos. 

If you're talking of MTH engines, no. In Postwar Lionel, 27 of the 2026, and 15 of the 2037, then I'm not sure how many of the rest.

I have 3 Rail King NKP Berkshires, 759, 763, and 766. 

I have a few. I try not get any locos with the same number if I can help it. Some locos only come with one or two numbers, like my K-Line Alco's, so getting different road numbers isn't possible. I don't mind so much on my semi-scale locos and I don't bother to renumber them. I renumber my N-scale locos if I get one with a number I already have. I have one scale size O-gauge loco that will get renumbered when I have time for it.

I have two 6250 Seaboard NW-2 switchers. One is the original from the 1950s. The other I just got and is a postwar classic from the 1990s. I plan to renumber the newer one. 

I have two LionChief Plus Boston and Maine RS-3’s and two Norfolk and Western rectifiers. Each pair has the same number but it’s fine by me.

Cheers, Pete

I have many duplicates 

A few.  NYC PA-1 (decided I wanted ABA a few years later, so bought a second A), SP MU (price too good to buy just one, so I bought two, they look much better IMO not as singles), GE Dash-9 Demo unit (bought one originally, been picking up a few others (3 extras at the moment) in later years for potential repaints).  Those are all exact same duplicates (same Lionel catalog number).

None with the same cab number.

If you can read the numbers, You are not running them fast enough.

I have 3 PostWar Seaboard Switchers all different numbers and several other switchers 2 PostWar and several MTH. Then there the 3 “J”’s 1 Lionel PostWar the very first J that MTH produced back in the early 90’s and the first MTH Imperial J produced. Both MTH units are numbered 611.  I also have 5 sets of Warbonnet F3’s PostWar 2333, 2343 currently targeted for restoration 2353 (my original set) the reissue Lionel set from 1990 and the first MTH set the produced from 2005 I think.  Then 2 MTH GGI’s two different numbers. Then there are 4 FM Trainmasters 2 Lionel PostWar 2321 Maroon Top, 2331 Virginian, the Lionel Southern and MTH PRR and I think with the dummy unit not sure if MTH made a dummy unit I have as I always tried to buy the matching dummy unit. I think that may all of my duplicates.
