My favorites were CN 1700 series RSC14s! I used to glue my nose to the screen door when I was a kid watching them work the branchline that went past my house.

Unfortunatly that's likely as close as we're going to get Then again trueline may do it, they had mulled it over when they brought out the Proto RS10's and 18's,it would require some changes to the master mold, but should be doable,I'd by two or three myself if they did.

My all time favorite is from the fallen flag WAG RR, I really liked the F7's that the railroad ran, dressed in orange and cream paint.
My favorite engine that is operating is the ALCo C424 and the particular unit I fav the most is running on the WNYP at this time, but labeled under the LA&L family name LA&L #424
My favorite is anything Alco...especially MLW RS-18s, C424's and the M series locomotives.
Has to be the AC4400 in CP colours, that was the final straw that got me back into the hobby.

Would that include Niagaras and Big Boys?
