My favorite steam loco is the NKP 2-8-4 Berkshire. 

My favorite prototype early diesel loco would be the ALCO RS-3.

My favorite model loco that I own is the NS #9823 GE D9-40CW (see image below)

 

Nice engine! I LOVE the ns dash-9's.I have the same one ,but with the correct headlight, ditchlights & plow.

well, i am particularily fond of the ALCO designed diesels, yet the MLW counterparts are even better. my favorite would probably be MLW switcher and road locomotives. i also have a keen interest in EMD switchers.

PS, anything in a CPRail paint scheme!

 And my 44-ton:

 

Both engines have sound!

I would say that my fav steam is the N&W Class J 4-8-4.

 Fav Diesel is a toss up between the Dash 9CW,  SD80MAC (NS colors are the best looking on this loco IMO)  and the SD40-2.

My favourite?

Unequivocally the EMD SD90/43MAC, particularly in CP colours.

Next on the list would be CP's 9000-9024 series, the SD40-2Fs. Something about those red barns... I'd really like to see one that's been repainted in the Golden Beaver scheme. I hear there's one out there, but it's never gone past here. At least not when I was looking.
