Monster locomotive

[jimmac230]

Definiately Challenger. been up close with Union Pacific #3985 and was simply in total awe of the locomotive. Have also been close to Centennial #6936 also was impressed with it too. Will possibly be purchasing one of each of them when possible in the future when layout gets made.

The W1. Great Northern's largest electrics. A pair would be perfect!

Bachmann Spectrum has the most accurate DD40AX HO scale in plastic. Athearn's model is closer to a DD35A. all it needs is 2 small cooling fans to replace 2 of the large ones[:D]

The GG-1 was probably selected because it was birthed during the era of steam and was still in service when steam was all but gone. [:D] I'd vote for Pennsy's T1 even though only 2 or 3 were built at the end of the steam era.

I would change my vote to the BIG BOY locomotive, because I think they look cool

What about some nicely (and reasonably priced) n scale cab forwards, centipedes, and a NYC box cab electric?

The big engines are nice to look at and great to watch as they run, but how many have layouts big enough to properly justify having the big monster engines? I would rather see the manufacturers produce good quality (Broadway Limited type) smaller engines such as 2-6-2, 2-6-0, 2-8-0 with sound, DCC, etc. Makes more sense to have small, good quality steam engines for the majority of the layouts which don't have room for the monsters.

In the Monster class, I already run one UP SD90MAC (I would like a couple more !) and a DD40 is in the paint shop. I am not a steam fan but I consideer the yet-to-come Genesis Challenger as aMuseum feauture or an Excursion train puller.

Actually, if I was to buy a "Monster" loco, it would be a cab forward to pull all my reefers.
And I would only run it on a club layout with big curve radii-my home minrad is 25".

Really none of the locos on your poll...... You should include a blank on all your polls for write-in's. I agree with others that the Canadian, fans are too often left out.
USRA locos in CN & CP paint schemes????!!! give me break! The few that were on GT and GTW and did make it north were few and far between. How about a CN Mountain or Northern; or one of the zillion CP D-4's/ D-10's . Not even one simple shake the box plastic van (or better in plastic). Even the all-weather loco cab conversion kits are getting hard to find....
The manufacturers that sometimes do put out half-way good models have gotten my money.
Why do ads for limited run Canadian models appear in MR long after they have been sold out ?

None of the above.--since i model the DL&W (loosely) the biggest loco they had were 4-8-4s, but the branch I model could never handle them
