What locomotive would you run?

[WCfan]

An SD45, as noisy and cranky as they may have been.

Ditto. Four all on Notch Eight on a 2-3% grade....

As another forum member said, 3 SD38s could just get you over the grade, 3 SD40s could get you up the grade nicely, 3 SD45s could get you up and over the grade in style...

Well, I have run a pair of GP40-2s, the SP 7106 and the D&RGW 3102.  Under the watchful eye of the engineer, of course. 

This was in 1992, and the 3102 even had its GyraLight working!

I have run a pair of Dash 9's from NS on a transfer also under the supervision of an engineer, conductor, and my buddy who just became an engineer but i would really like to run a BN SD60M or any 4-6-0( gotta love ten wheelers )!

I guess for me, I would want to run a GE P42DC.

I would like to run a EJ&E SD38-2 or a DM&IR SD38-2. A second choice would be a WC SD45 or a Iowa Interstate SD38-2.

My preference would be a TR4 set in pulldown duty on the BRC at Clearing.

 Well come October I'm going to run (for an hour)either a U23B or an RS-3 on the Nagatuck RR in Ct. (birthday gift from my girlfriend). As cool as the old Alco is I'm actually hoping for the U boat as it's an ex Providence & Worcester unit that I used to see in my neighborhood on a regular basis.......

Walt Disney World Railroad #1 Walter E. Disney, it's my favorite locomtive. I was able to get into the cab of the #4 Roy O. Disney and ring her bell during the Magic Behind Our Steam Trains Tour, but I wish it would've been the Walter.

If you could just pick one locomotive to run, what would it be? Now I'm talking about anywhere from Tom Thumb to TGV Duplex.
