Favorite locomotive

[TVRRMAN]

I have a few favorites, mostly unique models

In the way of steam, I'm tied at a combination of the Pennsy's K4 Pacifics, and unique T1 (4-4-4-4) Duplexes for Passenger power; For Freight (steam powered) I'm also tied hands down on the Pennsy's Q2 (4-4-6-4) Duplexes, the I1sa 2-10-0's, and M1b 4-8-2's for freight. Although I don't mind Baldwin built 2-8-0s...

For diesel power, I'm tied between Alco PA-PB sets, and Baldwin's unique DR6-4-20 2000 Horsepower Passenger Sharks for passenger power, with freight being held up by Baldwin Centipedes.

I agree that AZ is much much nicer.

For the period between the wars, and up to the 1950s a set of the USRA designs would be wonderful. Prairies, Mikados, Pacifics, Northerns, etc. Every railroad in the US had a sample or two of these locomotives. We have the switcher, and the Consolidation from that period already.

For me, easily my favorite diesel is the GE B23-7 used by Conrail for yard switching.

You attach a second image the same way you attach the first. Same with the third, fourth, and fifth image.
