Well, it seems to me you’re trying to make a purchase decision, so I’ll join the minority and say [B], if you are refering to the Premier line version. I don’t own one myself, but several people have told me good things about it. If you’re on a tight budget, I’d go with the K-Line Plymouth.
[E] Although Im probably in the minority I’ve always had soft spot for the Lionel Santa-Fe alcos.I have all but one that was ever made.Someday I’ll find the Green one.
I would say F, since I don’t own any of them and like them all… as far as favorites… typically that is reserved for my latest purchase, which is the C&O 0-8-0 pictured below, and will probably be hard to beat out because it is the first steamer I have owned with fan driven smoke… truely a work of art!
