Perhaps this category should be a bit more general.Instead of individual locomotives,How about types by wheel arrangement and names
0-10-0 ,2-6-2,4-8-4,climax,heisler,Shay, 4-6-2,2-8-0, etc etc.This would be much more helpful to manufacturers in general.The voting above shows that someones list of individually numbered trains is a bit on the weak side.......

I voted for SF 3751, cause its the closest to my favorite locomotive of all time, the ATSF 2900 class.

As there are to many to name and choose from, my choice would change from day to day and would depend on what assignments required for power.

Definately an Allegheny for long coal drags, a Selkirk (CP) or Texas (CV) for main line freight, a Mountain for local freight either a CN or CP Hudson for fast passenger or reefer traffic.
