[quote user="daveklepper"] But what about the very best non-articulated freight locomotive?   I would elect the AT&SF Texas Type.  Comments will be interesting. <div style="clear:both;"></div> [/quote] Dave, sorry for asking a question about your question, but what do you fellas would think about building quality of the 3 major locomotive works? Like tolerances of parts, quality of used alloysm, nuts`n Bolts. Had some builders advantages? Many times it was written, for example, LIMA builds were Cadillacs, the NW "A" was to be known a Mercedes...but I have never seen a 500t automobile from them ;-) Steam engines and car comparisons just do not work, in my eyes.  In addition, some essential parts (frames) came all from outside contractors, like GSI and...I forgot the other brand :-( However, I can not determine if an unknown engine is a Baldwin or... Even more fun, it happened many times a pilot model was built from one builder, the rest of the copies by another one ( NP Yellowstones ). Did just Money win?
