This would probley be mine
I have a K4 Postwar Pacific, A5 Switcher, and a RS-3 Black Hammerhead all of which I really like but my favorite would have to be my PRR 2-8-2 Mikado. It have never given me a problem, pulls great, great sounds and smokes well.

Alex,
Keep an eye on ebay.........they usually go between $250-$300 with TMCC. Make sure it is cab number 9628. At that price CC/TMCC is the only way to go even if you run in conventional mode (IMHO).
K-Line favorites are the scale, diecast, undecorated black workhorse Mikados, with Lima Builders Plates, which are correct for the Southern Ry's AGS subsidiary. I am sure K-Line did not intend it, but the black units work perfectly for the Southern which has been over modelled with Green Mikado and diesel freight engines.
Painter Jeff Sohn numbered/lettered and artfully decorated them in accordance with Southern's freight engine paint/trim scheme. Secondly, I liked their diecast freight cars. [my grand daughters like their model N.C. DOT FPH 59s and Cars].
