OK, y'r right. It is the cars (rolling stocks, locos, etc.) which are 118 in total (125 at last count). I actually only have 2 official running train sets, the Thunder Valley and the Explorer.
One person asked how I manage to count them. I do have the free RRTrains program, which is very very very useful. Every time I get a rolling stock, I just enter the data. The program will take care of the rest. It generates an automatic web page, and also a summary web page. The best part is that you can mark each entry that you want to sell, and the program will create a selling page. I highly encourage everyone who has the time to use this program, especially if you either just started out like me, or have a limited amount of entries to do.
As I wrote at the very beginning, this is not a contest, or invite people saying "number does not matter" or "bwahahah, I have the most trains".
I just want to have a feel of how many cars one have. Because obviously many people have more than the track can handle. So what people do with the extras? Put them in a storage box and forget about it? Rotate the stocks every month? Put them on display on a wall? Create a yard and put them all in it and treat them as non-operational?
Why does one continue to buy even though one has more than enough than one's tracks can handle?
Personally my original intention was to create four consists. This include two DCs, one DCC, and one DC which is the mouse train for Buzzie. I have four power districts...hence can create four "train sets". There are also about two dozen rolling stocks which are not for playing, but for display, as they are promotional items and are meant to be for display. This include the Chevron set, the Bicentennial set, and the Anaprox set, but also rare items such as Xmas stock cars and dealer-only promotional boxcars.
I do not really forsee myself buying anymore other than extra flatcars to create a longer mouse trains.
