How many Locos do you have??
Myself I counted 17 Diesels (auctually 19 left out the F7A and B in Black Widow paint )and 3 Steamers. But I don't spend much time with steam because they are be so tempermental.
My favorite Diesels are two SD-9's from athern one powerd and one dummy, put a lot of detail work into these and custom painted both (Southern pacific)complete with weathering. I also have a C-30 ( UP)thats been regeared and detailed this one is a real strong puller and 3 P2K's GP 9's (nuff said). Although I'm not real fond of steam I recently found a couple of Pemco 2-6-0's Southerns that I like to look at.

RE: List your favorite and why
I only have two and they are both early switchers: a Baldwin VO-660 and an Alco S1. I am very fond of them both. But, I'd have to say that the edge probably goes to the P2K S1 because 1) it was my first, and 2) I got it for such a bargain (70% off list, brand new). Runs like silk and looks great.
I have one steamer: an Athearn 2-8-2 Mikado.

RE: How many Locos do you have??
AGAIN! From all the prior poles like this you might need to add a few zeros to the high end there.

RE: How many Locos do you have??
Why doesn't this include steamers? I have many more of them than diesels. If this is supposed to include only diesels, I want to withdraw my vote. [:D]

RE: How many Locos do you have??
I voted 50+ steam. I think I've got somewhere around 75 or so. But...I also have 30-40 diesels. And what about the electrics? I've got four.
My favorite? Any USRA light 2-8-2!

RE: How many Locos do you have??
13 for me, 10 steam, 3 diesels. Hopefully my SS COLA will allow me one or two a year now that I am retired and not making the big bucks that all you young engineers are making now.[:D]

Three steam (one a gift), and one diesel...a gift.
A Lionel UP Challenger (two-tone gray), and BLI PRR K4 due in a couple of weeks, but no hands-on until Christmas.
