I recently started learning a little model category theory and in particular I found this nice exercise. I only know a little topology, but this prompted me to wonder how many model category structures there may be on Top. I am aware of three: Serre fibrations and weak homotopy equivalences, Hurewicz fibrations and homotopy equivalences, and the usual model category of rational homotopy theory [Dwyer and Spalinski]. A secondary question could be how many homotopy theories there are since it is known that the first two I mention give the same homotopy theory.

*This question is a little out of my league right now. I hope that is ok. I'm not even sure how difficult this question is.

How many model category structures are there on Top?
