Thousands were on the roster in 1968:

Thousands made it to the early 70s according to this:

Apparently some were designated "captive service" in the PC era:

Though no scale indicator was used on this thread, it should be noted that these are HO scale, not N.   I was excited to see the clamshell H21 and then noticed the scale on the page.  :(
