I got my first LEGO train for christmas in 1991. It was a Metro Liner and I had bought the Metro Station roughly 4 to 6 weeks earlier.
4551 Crocodile Locomotive
4558 Metroliner x2 (made an 8 wide version out of one of them)
4563 Load and Haul Railroad x2
4564 Freight Rail Runner
7715 Passenger Steam Train x3
7720 Diesel Freight Train
7722 Steam Cargo Train x2
7725 Electric Passenger Train
7727 Freight Steam Train
7730 Electric Goods Train
7735 Freight Train
7740 Inter-City Passenger Train x2 (may be able to build a 3rd one from spares)
7745 High-Speed City Express Passenger Train x2 (made an 8 wide version out of one of them)
7750 Steam Engine x2
7755 Diesel Heavy Shunting Locomotive
7760 Diesel Shunter Locomotive
7810 Steam Engine
10219 Maersk Container Train x3
10233 Horizon Express x2
4000014 The Legoland Train
Still need to pick up a 7710 and I have a few bits for a Santa Fee and the BNSF. Never really cared much for the Emerald Night.
Long time lurker. First post.
TRU had the Maersk train on clearance for 59€.

Btw, the pic in your signature is huge. You may not be aware, but I takes up the whole screen.
