I voted Allegheny. I think that they look cool hauling long coal trains.

Dougal,
Remember that I am a Big Boy fan...don't get me started on why big boys are greater--my post would take a long time to read.

Most Big Boyishly yours,
Daniel

Sorry. Being a former Northeast guy, I didn't get to see them in their prime.I'll stick with my previous choices.

Will look to see how people with knowledge of these arrangements vote on them.

Regards, Jerry

I voted other my favotite wheel arrangement was the simple 4-8-4 many railroads had them and they were all distinctive to the owning road. No other class of engine pulled as many fast freight and passenger trains.
