Well I would get a K-4 with Legacy if it was made, and probably a small switcher with legacy

So I am starting up my new O gauge layout, this one will be a modest layout, L shape and very limited room for staging (narrow shelf of 24 inches wide but 60 foot long). I think I am set with the diesels... I have 2 F-7 A-B-A TMCC Pennsy and Sante Fe's, An NYC A-B-A E-7 and a couple of 0-8-0's NYC. With the proliferation of roadnames I am not concerned with picking a location so the sky is the limit in road name ( I am looking more for what is the best and most fun to run in features), my max radius has not been determined yet buy I am looking to contain it to O-54. What two locomotives would be "got to have" as far as details, fun to run, and tops the TMCC features with great sound! Thanks for the Help!

When the men get together its always done right! J. Daddy
