A funny topic I know , but seeing the posting of " Accucraft Parade " and " Roundhouse Roundup " got me to thinking !

We have a " pride " of lions , a " parliment " of owls, a " covey " of quail , is there some term that describes locomotives also?

Do we have an " Accumulation " of Accucrafts ?
A " Roundup " of Roundhouses ?
A " Regal " or " Regency " of Regners ?
An " Assembly " of Asters ? I don't think this is a noble enough term for an Aster however.

You thoughts on the proper title for a grouping of a particular locomotive manufacturers products would be appreciated . This question is posted for a fun discussion on a dark December night.

A 'Lout' of LGBs
A 'pile' of Pikos
an 'open day' of mixed marques
An 'Heath Robinson' of Regners

Perhaps a plume of steam locos.
Maybe a chuff of steam locos.

I dread to think what an accumulation of 'Little Willi's' might be called.

A 'Poopload' of Playmobils :rolf:

Although ultimately they all come down to being an 'I wish load of (insert required marque here)' :crying:
