Don’t know why but they’re my favorite too.
I have the milk, refrigerator, Baby Ruth, and operating ATSF. I also have the Erie which is on the line at the moment. Down on the bottom level there’s the yellow horse car and the green James Gang set outlaw car. Even though there are other types of cars this length, they just don’t look as well proportioned as the boxcars do. The 3 I most want are the red SP, the operating NYC and the operating WP.

Berkshire Type 2-8-4 Locomotive No. 736.
Made from 1950 to 1968, it enjoyed the longest production run of any
Lionel locomotive from the post-war period. The prototype
Berkshire locomotive was so named because it was tested on the Berkshire Hills of the
Boston & Albany Railroad.

There was an operating WP?
I want one now! 
I thought WP was only in the 6464 series cars.
Thank you @mersenne6 and @pennytrains
Hard to find without at least 25% of the feather rubbed off, especially near the doors.
Class K-4 Pacific 2-6-2 Locomotive No. 2025
(Lionel’s version left off one of the prototype’s leading truck axles.)
