Whats your favorite steam locomotive? - Part 2!!!

N&W A class 2-6-6-4, with roller bearing rods, #1238-1242.

The B&O EM-1. Brute force with elegance and grace

Darl

southern pacific daylight gs4 ud think this would be the first loco at the top of that list

Problem is that I enjoy all steam, with my favorites being Erie Berks, any Challangers and shays

Dominion Atlantic Ry/CP D-10h, 4-6-0

NYC Hudsons. What else is prettier?..(Niagaras!!!)

Yellowstones-Raw unbridled Power and Big Big Big!!!
Hvy Mikado-all around workhorse
Consolisated-Built this country
And for diesels,nothing looked better than 3 SD-9’s Dragging a load of Iron ore into Duluths ore docks.Glad to see Nscale is finally going to get these beautiful models!!

No railroad could beat the good old Norfolk & Western for steam power! They fought dieselization harder than any other class 1 R.R. Of course the N&W J-class ruled.

SP Cab-Forward

Toss up between NC&StL J-2 or J-3 4-8-4 Dixie.

  1. concur with GDRMCo & bentnose willy. How could one leave out the AD60 Beyer-Garrat?
    2… CNW 1385
  2. Frisco 1522

CPR Royal Hudson
CPR G5 Pacifics, so many preserved!

Perhaps this category should be a bit more general.Instead of individual locomotives,How about types by wheel arrangement and names
0-10-0 ,2-6-2,4-8-4,climax,heisler,Shay, 4-6-2,2-8-0, etc etc.This would be much more helpful to manufacturers in general.The voting above shows that someones list of individually numbered trains is a bit on the weak side…

NYC Hudsons. Beautiful. Smooth. Balanced. Perfect.

How about them Southern Pacific / T&NO Mikidos.
Talk about powerful locomotive.

PRR K4 Pacific. But also I like Shays, and Forneys.
Enjoy

NKP 2-8-4 Berk. #765

HI all, I like BN best but changed to BNSF, GENESIS desisl engine I like best I have two of them now… I am used to see the BN passing in my home town in Aurora Nebraska most every day… now see is BNSF…

Ya gotta add in a couple of Shays and a Heisler for the logging guys.

I voted for SF 3751, cause its the closest to my favorite locomotive of all time, the ATSF 2900 class.
