Your favorite name for a steam locomotive? Ex: "Mikado", "Allegheny", "Bull Moose"

[Anonymous]

Have to say Western Maryland 4-8-4's..............POTOMAC.

Or maybe EBT's "Millie".

It really doesn't matter what you call it, if it's steam it's good enough!

I've alway liked "Decapod" a ten-legged insect that crawls around the layout.

Rick,

We've got to ask -- which "hobby" [?][?]

[:D][:D][:D][:D]

Now remember this is a question about favourite names, not favourite loco's.

So there I was at my favourite hobby shop at the time, and I asked the guys - "say, what's a Climax." Well you could have heard the laughter for a mile. Says they, slapping their thighs, "he doesn't know what a Climax is."

My favorites would be as follows:

Berkshire
Pacific
Prairie
"The BIG ENGINE", PRR S-1 6100 (6-4-4-6)

Being raised along the Hudson River, my favorite would be the Hudson, followed closely by the Niagara.

I don't like the locomotives but I have always thought that the wheel arrangement had a good name

[Anonymous]

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.
