54.I prefer diesels,but i also like electrics and steam.

Steam long and black and with a throaty call.

I was born when Harry Trueman was in office. No one had a TV yet in my town and we later said the pledge of Aligence at school.

Jim Crow was a fact of life and the C&O ran K 4 s thru our towm.

Steam, the might of America, steam and coal.

Coal was King then.

It still is here.

I like them all. The ones I like the best are the Late Steam Engines, the F series and E8's-9's.

Age 51 and Tunnel Motors.

61+, and whatever is appropriate for the specific timetable movement.

Steam, from tiny teapot tankers to articulateds.
Diesel-hydraulics, both switchers and line-haul units.
Catenary motors, from ancient Bo+Bo box cabs to 2-Co+Co-2 streamlined double-enders.

Also DMU and EMU passenger consists without locomotives.

If it moves and had (or could have had) a prototype in Central Japan in 1964, it's good.

15 soon to be 16 I like late 1st, 2nd, and early 3rd Generation Diesel. I do like steam, but not as much as diesels

I'm 30 and steam is by far my favorite, although I like all trains, including diesels.

[simon1966]

THanks for making me feel old! Being lumped into a group spanning 20 years upto 60 sure makes you think!

[TrainFreak409]

I am 17, and I prefer TURBINES and STEAMERS! [:D][:D][:D]

[Texas Zepher]

Any of them that I can get my hand on the throttle of.

But if you are trying to get a serious statistcal sampling, I have to say 50 and steam. Unfortunately I was too young to see them (except the D&RGW NG) in real service.

I'm 16. Diesels rule in my world.

[stokesda]

Age 31

I like a variety - depends on what mood I'm in at the time. Big "modern" steam is always enjoyable, though [:D]

[jeffrey-wimberly]
