The N&W considered buying 25 more Jawn Henries,and in the late 1960's the N&W controlled the Erie Lackawanna;so how about a Jawn Henry painted in Erie Lackawanna colors ?!

I wonder about the GG1 myself. I voted cenntenial. Just because it seems to be the only thing that is still considered good.

I'm not modeling any of those railroads nor do I have any particular reason to flop out a big locomotive just for the heck of it. If size is the criteria for this poll, I wonder why the
Big Boy
didn't make the list and the fairly small GG1 did?

Another great one that I wish some one would make in plastic rather than brass, is UPs TURBINE NUM 1 AND 2, these were steamlined steam turbines and really interesting.

I guess it would be none of the above. I don't see a C & O 2-6-6-6 Allegeheny listed anywhere. In N-Scale that is. Steam power is what I want. GOOD running steam power at that! It can be done .
Honest Dear.....These Little Trains Don't Cost Near As Much As Those Big HO Trains!! Mark

None of the above!
I would like a good qualitiy 4-4-0, and maybe a 4-8-4, and those would be the LAST steamers I would buy (having the 2-8-0 and 2-8-2 already in my road name, which is NOT given above!).
Is the steamer market approaching saturation ????

I voted for the Jawn Henry but would have rather seen the C&O steam turbine. Same idea as the N&W - just the C&O made it look good too!

A 3 UNIT SUPER TURBINE!!! Each unit of three no longer than a SD40-2 so it could negotiate curves nicely.

I've gotta agree with rsn48!
Too many times you folks down south forget that in Canada we have 2 huge class 1 railroads - Canadian National and Canadian Pacific. Both railroads use large motive power, and have trackage in the US.
HEY! WE'RE HERE!

I would change my vote to Jawn Henry from GG1. I already have my N scale monster loco, the Kato SD70 A/A is about as big as I can stand on 11' curves. I skipped the SD80/SD90 cause it is too long.
Mainly, I just want F7A/B sets in SP Black Widow paint with both lights and a RS1 or similar for my Los Angeles area line.

This is an attempt to train "Trains" staff. The largest country in your subscriptions other than the States is Canada. So when you post polls wanting to know what passenger trains you want, make sure you have Canadian content (The Canadian would be the obvious inclusion). Remember the forum although American in location is international in flavour.
So in the interest of training, did Canada have articulates?
And would you include the "Selkirk" as a mononster engine?
Don't cha hate homework!
