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.

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

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

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