I really like the ALCO Bigboys. They look really impressive in the picturies. I have never seen one in the iron so to speak. I also like the old camelbacks. moparjunky

Any 4-8-4.....The 'Apotheosis' of Steam!

Whether they were built by Lima, Baldwin, Alco or Inhouse shopped, all have interesting histories.

Still waiting for Jim's answer..........
Also SP9811; It's good to see that there are others out there who have a high regard for the GS-6 class!! I wish MTH would produce it in O-gauge Premier.

There has never been a locomotive that had the sheer elegance of the Gresley A3 and A4 Pacifics nor the performance.
