I can only chose one loco? I want an entry for all of the above!!
How about N&W 611 and 1218?
I don't think you can beat those two double-heading a train, scale or real!!
Throw in one (or more) of the Nickle Plate Berks and you got a super party!!

Good Luck, Morpar

No railroad could beat the good old Norfolk & Western for steam power! They fought dieselization harder than any other class 1 R.R. Of course the N&W J-class ruled.
