For old pullman heavyweight, I would say the Orange Blossom Special. Why? Just because it lived out its days as a classy heavyweight, which had in most cases become a contradiciton in terms by that time....yet she held on, proudly and bravely, as a classy heavyweight till the end. Now, if one went back few years before her demise when they were many classy heavyweights, she would not necessarily have stood out so much.

Tough decision... guess i'd have to choose the later version of the california zephyr with 3 burlington route E-9's on the nose...those dome obs cars are hard to beat..which makes it a class act on the nose, middle and end.

build any of the old streamliners (money wouldn't be a problem [:D] ), steam or diesel.
Or maybe the money would go to any of the old PULLMAN heavyweight limiteds, which train would build?
I can't decide myself becaus I like so many of the old REAL trains, it's too many that I'd like to bring back to life, but I can tell you that the Milwaukee Road's Hiawatha from 1935, 36 or 37 is on the list, of course with the an class A 4-4-2 and a spare F-7 4-6-4 up front.

All the best my friends,
