That question is as hard to answer as the "Do these pants make me look fat? deathtrap. I tried, and I can't nail down one engine, I've got lots of favorites. I will name one of them. New Hope & Ivyland 2-8-0 #40. I was lucky enough to get a cab ride on that little engine a few years ago. The vision of steam from the cylinder cocks sweeping back into the cab and shooting into the open firebox doors was beyond words. It reminded me of the movie "Poltergeists"! I soaked the experience up, didn't waste my time with a camera. I wanted it burned into my brain, not film. Made small talk about deer and turkeys with the crew and tried to stay out of their way. I think they liked that.
Hi:
Well, I guess i'd have to say i think the NYC Hudsons are the most beautiful engines, See; http://www.steamlocomotive.com/hudson/nyc5426.jpg
Then i guess i'm most impressed by the big articulateds. Just seeing that much metal rolling down two rails in a controlled fashion is fascinating. Then, i like the 0-8-0 class of engines. Tough little workhorses.

Ted

I weighed in once before, saying Milwaukee 261 was my favorite, and it still is; but I have to put in a plug for the NYC Hudsons, too, particularly the NON streamlined ones. Wish I had a good picture to post.

Thank You for the comment. I am a huge pennsy fan. All the trains except for the A-5 are built in 1-1/2 inch scale. Again Thank You for the comment.
