This is easy. The one that runs after breakin. The others get shoved to the sidetrack. Then i like to give it a number. My favorite number had my old house address.

Beyer-Garratt, because it is hyphenated, just like the locomotive.
Stephenson's Rocket, because of the grandiose overstatement.
Crokodil, because it amuses me.

I'm partial to the "Selkirk" kind of Majestic like the mountain range it was named after. I'll put Allegheny in second spot. I'm not too enthralled with "Jubilee" though it was a classy little engine to look at.
