She's a PFM L-131 2-8-8-2, an older run and she took a bit of TLC and breaking in before I assigned her to the Yuba River Sub. But she's a sweetheart and if she 'grinds' a little, she still runs smooth. Nce engines twhite, i can see why you like them.That loco in the distance in the second shot is a big, hunkin' Westside L-105 Challenger. Bigger, prettier, more powerful, and lots NASTIER than the UP version, LOL!Tom

You need to put your photos in a site such as photobucket (it's free), then "Copy" the "img" tag line, and "Paste" it into your post.

I'm not sure I have an overall favorite, I love my AFT T-1 as it was a 16th bday gift from Dad and one of the first of the Sound engines. Its a reliable engine, up until you try to dispatch her. (The second whistle is the same button as the Dispatch key on UT4s. But there's also something adorable about my FDT Trackmobile. It'll pour it's little heart into anything I tell it to dio. Come bad track or heavy loads, it'll moan and groan. I may have to help it, but the determination is amazing.

I only have 2 engines right now. I don't invest into engines that much, due to changing of the layout, and money. I will say my favorite out of the 2 is:
Its a Broadway Limited w/sound. Man is this engine SWEEEEEET!!!! I have had DC all of my layouts, and jumped to DCC. It makes you wanna work more on the layout.

Nice loco, I've photographed your favorite locos sister unit.

Aw, Heck, might as well post this one--it's a 'basket-case' Akane Yellowstone I picked up at a swap meet a couple of months ago, had to dis-assemble it, put in a new drive train, clean up some cosmetic damage, do major surgery on it (the seller and I agreed that it needed a whole lot of work, that's why I bought it). After being on the work table in sections for a long time while I resuscitated it, finally put it on the tracks this weekend--it's a real honey. Powerful, heavy and smooth. Still needs some more 'cosmetic' work, but for a brass loco that's almost 50 years old, this gal still has a LOT of life left in her. Going to put her hauling heavy freight along with my other two Yellowstones. I'm a Happy Camper.
TT scale GP-9 just out of the shops.

The above is my opinion, from an active and experienced Model Railroader in N scale and HO since 1961.

The favorite locomotive in my roster is a Atlas MP15DC with sound. The locomotive runs great and my operators love the smooth running and sound functions.
I don't think I could pick just one:
Phil, I'm not a rocket scientist; they are my students.
Some of my favorite ...
Now just need to get some pics of my Rock Island SD40-2.
Since so far this is my only loco it is also my favorite :
Even over the BLIs and P2Ks my favorite is a Bachmann Spectrum 2-8-0 with Tsunami sound decoder...
The sound is great and it runs as smooth as any engine I own. The size is just right for my 22" curves.
Oh... almost forgot... it's also the lowest priced sound equipped engine I own.
Go figure!

The first one I painted in the Freelance scheme. It's and Atlas SD35 high nose. I liked the Allen McLelland's V&O paint scheme so much I pretty much copied it.
