Favorite Locomotive purchase

[Anonymous]

My all time favorite engine has always been the ATSF Madame Queen #5000. Recently I bid and bought a Hallmark version on eBay. Like the above gentleman that got is thrill at 62, well, I got mine at 72. My MQ will be painted and then Tsunami sound put in place. If anyone knows of a video showing her I would much appreciate it.

Mine is my Dapol N gauge class 73 'The Royal Alex' in Pullman livery:-



I always liked the loco when I saw it on train journeys, it's a good little runner and it's also the first RTR loco available that can pull passanger stock for the area and era I want to model.

So far I have only bought 1 locomotive so I would have to say my N scale Canadian Pacific GP-9 made me interested in this hobby.

Dating myself terribly, my all-time favorite was a Kawai 2-6-4T that looked similar to the JNR C11 class, purchased in 1959. It was the first consciously Japanese-prototype loco I ever purchased, and has shaped my modeling interest ever since. (I didn't know that my previously-purchased Tenshodo Baldwin 0-6-0T was also a model of a prototype that operated in Japan.) That Kawai C-tank, fabricated from sheet brass, succumbed to bad solder joints years ago. The Tenshodo, cast in high-quality Zamac, still runs like a Swiss watch.

Much more recently, my present favorite is a Mantua Uintah 2-6-6-2, wide-gauge variant. At the moment it's running in fresh out of the box configuration. When I get some bench time (in a couple of years or so) I'll fabricate a new superstructure and new front end cylinders to create a believable freelance Japanese-built Mallet, then put it to work taking empty coal units up the hill to the collieries. I'll keep the original parts so that whoever buys it from my estate can return it to 'as new' condition.
