This train always has always been special to me and hopefully someday I'll have a model of it made for my lay out. This engine is from Conway Scenic Railroad up in North Conway, NH.

'Schools' Class V 4-4-0 It was the most powerful 4-4-0 in Europe I believe(and still is!)
Another favourite was the 'Charlie' Q1 Class probably the most ugly steam engine built in wartime austerity conditions in UK and this was the most powerful 0-6-0 in Europe (and still is) All above 'Unless you know better' I would love to see a 'Big Boy' though in steam. [:D]

SD 45 ! They looked great from any angle, and looked powerful even when standing still.
Also loved the PA for it's classic lines.
RS2/3 and GP7/9 were my favorite hi-nosed units. They looked well proportioned and balanced running in either direction.
