Can You Have Too Many Trains? - How Does Layout Capacity Relate to Model Count?

Is it possible to have too many model trains? Is that even a thing?

Model trains are fun, and a lot of modelers love to collect them. But how many can you actually use on a layout at one time?

How much effort does it take to build superdetailed models, and is it necessary to continue to build more and more when you already have more than you can use?

Dan tackles questions like this in this episode of Layout Building.

Using the plan for his HO scale Donner Pass layout as an example, Dan talks about his locomotive collection and how many locomotives can be stored on the layout.

He also talks about how the layout is intended to work and how locomotives will likely be assigned to specific jobs.

Whether your model train collection is large or small, there are some ideas in this show worth considering.

Dan also gives a quick update on his train room, so be sure to check out this video!
