QUOTE: Originally posted by AggroJones I come from the largest family of my wheel arrangement. 9 variations resulted over the 17 year building period. My 2 cylinders can pump me 65mph+ Railroad, type, and ALL classes.
QUOTE: Originally posted by andrechapelon Here's one for you. There were 23 of us built. We used the boilers from locomotives of a different wheel arrangement. We were also the heaviest of our type ever built. What were we (road name, wheel arrangement and loco number series).

QUOTE: Originally posted by AggroJones CN and CP aren't far enough from us for me to concider them "foreign". They're just like northern roads to me. There are only 2 units in this class, and both are built from boilers of another sucessful wheel arrangement. These were passenger locomotives. Road, Class, wheel arrangment

QUOTE: Originally posted by uspscsx I am not produced in HO scale any more. I was used by CSX and Maine Central. Lionel HO was the only manufacturer to produce me. I am an old GE. You could say I'm the runt of my family. What am I? Will be interesting to see some of the guesses[swg] uspscsx

Did Lionel make a U18B? I think they may have sold the same U36B that Bachmann did, but I don't remember hearing about them making a U18B.[%-)]
