What Era, Railroads, & Locomotives are you set on?

[nkp_174]

I have to agree on the "Hudsons", and almost any steam loco. Personally, it's the articulated locos that I like best. ( right up to, but not including the 4-8-8-4 ) ... someday I'll figure out why I can't seem to find that one "attractive".[/quote]

I've never understood it, but I'm no fan of either the SP's 4-8-8-2 cab forwards or the UPs articulateds. Yet, I love all other SP and CP locomotives (especially those AC-9s...Lima built 2-8-8-4s). Similarly, I enjoy most of the pre-Super Power UP steam while with most roads, the Super Power is my favorite part of the roster.

Riverman, your selection of locals is good...but my personal bias would be towards the earlier times you've listed. BR steam in the '60s beat any 1960's US diesels...although I'm partially towards Pre-Nationalization and especially Pre-Grouping British railroading (ah...the LBSC)!
