My favorite that I have.
M1a, BLI has a great look and sounds great. Pulls very well for a smaller engine.
My first steam engines, GS-4's. Cheap Bachmann's but with a little work pull 21 hand picked cars.
My Monon BL2's, to date run them more than any of my other diesals. Funny think I bought the first one and was going to use it for parts. I now have 4 BL2's
E-6, have 3 of them and pull like a bear.
If any of you folks have PIC it great to add a face's to the name of the engine.
Want list, BIG BOY, but after I up grade the DCC unit.

I hate Rust
Steam, toss-up between Northern Class and Texas type. Specifically, S1b Niagara and the PRR J1.
Diesel, SD70/90 MAC and similar style, or the wonderful F7.
Tom,
I was refering more to the prototype I guess.
My favorite locos?
The EMD E series, the ALCO PA's, the EMD FT, F3, F7, F9, the GP40, the SD40-2.

Michael,
Clarification: Are you confining the "favorite" preference to the prototype, the model, or both?

Time...It marches on...without ever turning around to see if anyone is even keeping in step.
Well I guess my favorite Diesel would be the GP-7 or 9. I havea bunch of them. They just look nice and squared away rollingdown the track. As far as Steam every since I ran my neighborsBig Boy around my layout I have been wanting an articulated steamloco. So when my b-day rolled around I got a PCM 2-8-8-2. Awesome looking loco and heavy too. It can pull a stump i'msure. And the cool thing is that it is Decaled for the NYC? Who Knew???
