In this order - BigBoy, Challenger, Mallet. And a whole bunch more. Why? The steam whistle is the start of it for me. But if you have ever seen one of these working - Wow - Plumb spine tingling. I get the same feeling when I see one of these start up on a model railroad. Awesome. The Big Boys proved their worth in total tonnage and mileage. Hard to believe. And I can go on and on. I was lucky as a kid and was able to ride steam equipped B&M passenger trains. I heard steam whistles everyday and always wondered which locomotive it was. Boy was I miffed when I heard my first diesel horn. Yuk. I was one of those given the chance to see the transition era from steam to diesel. Okay so I love trains.
