Lionel 225E I got for Christmas.
New to my Uncle in 1940, passed to me.
Still have it, still runs fine.

a 2-4-2, and 2-6-2 i kitbashed and turned into cab forwards, so my railroad could see if the "increased visibility" helps alleviate grade crossing accidents.

I'm going to have to say a Revel ACL SW100 that I got from my grandfather.

If I was going to pick one piece of equipment to be my most prized, I guess it would have to be a 40+ year old Rivarossi 4-4-0 HO locomotive. Hasn't run in years! It was given to me about 25 years ago by my Father-in-law who was the one who got me interested in getting back in the hobby about 30 years ago. It was his most prized Locomotive and he wanted it have a home where it would be kept and valued. My Father-in-law is now 92 years old and is still quite the character!

Mine would have to be, HHHhmMMMMM. I'd have to say, die cast trix hot metal car, forty car work train,mostly scratch built from walthers kits. I guess all of my trains are prized.
