Since you already have several smaller steamers I have to ask what railroad you model? Do you model Union Pacific? If so, the challenger would fit right in, but there's also some UP 4-8-4 stuff out there as well. I have personally photographed and chaised both of UPs preserved steamers and I'd say the 4-8-4 is an awesome locomotive. So is the challenger. If you really like Southern Pacific the Daylight 4-8-4 is a good choice, but remember, it is a PASSENGER locomotive. A lot of railroads used their 4-8-4s in passenger service. If you're a freight buff, maybe some of the other locos mentioned would be a good choice. Lots of decisions, I know.
