Was my GM&O, RS1 until it got swiped from the club layout two weeks ago.

[RedGrey62]

Have to agree with simon1966 on the Burlington E-units, close second is a GP-20 (Chinese Red & Grey of course)

An F unit in BN Green!

[twhite]

Have to list them--all steam:
SP AC-6 Cab Forward 4-8-8-2
DM&IR M-3/4 2-8-8-4 (especially with the Elesco FWH)
Rio Grande L-131 2-8-8-2
Rio Grande F-81 2-10-2 (big brute with a little-bitty Vandy tender)
Rio Grande L-105 4-6-6-4 (the big Baldwins, not the UP clones)
Rio Grande M-64 4-8-4 (prettiest Northerns that Baldwin ever built IMO)
Rio Grande C-45 2-8-0 (cute and chunky and powerful)
C&O H-7 2-8-8-2
SP Mt-2,3,4,5 4-8-2 (best looking Mountains I ever saw)
WP 251 series 2-8-8-2 (prototype for the later Missabe Yellowstones)

Well I like power and nothing says power like a Union Pacific 4-8-8-4 Big Boy, with a 4-6-6-4 Challenger and a UP 4-8-4 Northern sitting next to it.

[Nataraj]

My favorite steam engines -- GS-4, challenger, royal hudson, and the ac-12. Also the N&W class J

For diesel: AC4400cw, AC6000CW, P42, GE evolution series

Electric -- TGV and Acela

[icmr]

Steam would have to be the UP Big Boys and Challengers and the UP 4-8-4 Northern #844 and Diesel would have to be NS SD60's, any IC locomotive that have worn or are still wearing the Death Star logo.

Happy Railroading.[swg][swg]

[PennsyHoosier]

My favorite is the Pennsy K4s



But I also love the look of the Pennsy T1

[myred02]

I'd have to go with Dave Chappelle with this one, the SD70ACE (not MAC) looks great in almost every livery, especially "The Katy". Cool pictures by the way, Dave. [8D]

-Brandon

[bnnrailroad]

Electric - Pennsy GG-1
Diesel - BL2
Steam - My B&O 2-8-2 (although, the DeWitt Clinton, Lafayette and John Bull run a real close second!!!!)

[river_eagle]

I have 3 SD45T-2s (SP).

I think these are such classy looking locomotives.[8D]

[Anonymous]

The LMS Coronation Class would have to be my favourite. The N&W Jclass is not far behind.

[marknewton]

These are my favourite steam locos...



Ubiquitous JNR steam power.



The ultimate development of European steam.



I looked after this one for 13 years...

All the best,

Mark.

[ATSFCLIFF]

Any of the big diesels, I like the GE C44-9CW's, AC4400CW, EMD SD70's and SD90MAC's.
Cheers,
Cliff
