The following represent motive power owned but not currently used. Some are in pieces, planning on future work, others were impulse buys, others just do not fit the current era of my current HO layout, the Barre Branch (1956).
B&M 1180
A Bachmann Gas Electric Doodlebug, with DCC and Kadee couplers
Note: eBay purchase, this was a brand new model that was DCC ready; an hour to remove the body shell, and I plugged in an extra Bachmann decoder I had lying around. Runs great
CN 4202
A Bachmann Spectrum 2-10-2, DCC equipped, Kadee couplers
Notes: Purchased new off of eBay, runs great right out of the box. Too large for my test layout, while it navigates 22 inch radius curves, it's not all that happy about it.

CV 469
An IHC 2-8-0 Consolidation, DC only
Notes: Bought new in the 1990's long before I was in the hobby. It runs...ok, needs to be broken in I think.
CV 501
An IHC 0-8-0 switcher
Notes: Bought new off of eBay. It ran- ok. This model was a target for conversion, and was successfully brought up to date - weathered, sound and DCC, I even ground down the flanges on this model so it would run better on my code 70/83 tracks. Worked great, until it took a dive.
CV 700
A Pacific Fast Mail Brass, 2-10-4 Texas Type, DC only
Notes: Bought used off of eBay, runs great, worn paint, no lights.
CV 1726
A LifeLike Proto 2000 GP 9, with QSI Quantum Sound DCC
Notes: Used from an eBay purchase, this was renamed to the CV by the previous owner. Bad road number (doesn't match the CV). Decoder shorts out, currently slated for replacement with a Titan decoder, may do a body swap with an appropriately detailed CV model.
