We have a Hippo (I1sa) up in Hamburg, NY. This locomotive stood for many years at the Westinghouse plant in Wilmerding, Pa. As a fan trip engine, you could do a lot worse. Especially if you mated her to the 210F75 tank not far away.

Thanks, jaygee! I vaguely remembered at least 1 Hippo was in existence, but wasn't sure. Would have been a real shame not to have one of these preserved.
And I know where Wilmerding is. In fact, back in the 1980s I did some VAX-11 realtime work for WABCO (Westinghouse Air Brake Company) near by.

ET&WNC # 11. When the RR pulled up it's 3-foot tracks after 1950, they had two locomotives sitting around. # 12 got sold to some people building a RR park in Virginia (which lasted less than a year) and 11 was supposedly offered to the city of Johnson City, TN as a display. The story goes that the city turned the RR down and out came the torches soon afterward.
Using the N&W theme that Gilly put up, I'd agree on most...but would pull the 137 K2, and substitute Class A # 1242....with roller bearings on every thing including the engineer's lunch box !
ORIGINALLY POSTED BY TRAINS4ME:
Anything from the DL&W, as there is just one little steam engine left, to my knowledge - at Steamtown the last I knew.
Actually the St. Louis Museum cosmetically restored a 4-4-0 Lackawanna cammelback.
any of the non streamlined NYC 4-6-4 J1e
Seaboard R-1 Articulated
UP 4-6-2 49er Streamlined
An NYO&W 4-6-0, #225.
First and foremost: Southern Mikado #4526 (my dad fired that loco during WWII)
Then, as cited above, D&RGW power such as 4-8-2's, and 4-8-4, and their 16
driver articulateds. Also, as cited above examples of all the three foot gauge locos,
including the Mason-Bogies of the "South Park", that ran in Colorado. (fortunaely,
much of the later big Rio Grande three foot power has been saved)
1. Delaware Lackawanna & Western 1500-series 4-8-4. In my opinion the "cleanest" non-streamlined Northern ever built.
2. DL&W 2-8-0 #799 or 736. Nothing unusual, just a workhorse freight loco, but it handled the tri-weekly "drill" on the Gladstone Branch when I was a kid. Nostalgia trip.
3. NYC Hudson.
