My favorite O gauge engine is my Railking Imperial Dreyfus Hudson. I prefer traditional post war size trains. I'm a New York Central fan and I've loved the prototype locos so this was an easy choice. My second choice would be a NYC F3.
Got the picture to load. 
Mine is a CPR Selkirk
Hard to pick just one, but one of my top favorites is my custom painted Marx 999 and custom 8 wheel Nickle Plate tender
I have to say 
A MTH 30-1366-1 Mountain because it was the first modern engine I bought when I Re-entered the hobby in 2005.

This little Lionel TMCC wonder along with SuperStreets got me once again interested in model railroading.

My favorite "engine" is a Lionel handcar that I use as a locomotive. The Lionel O27 handcar uses the same motor as the K-line by Lionel Porter (the Porter's motor is a dual shaft version of the handcar motor with worm gears that are tighter spirals http://www.mabuchi-motor.co.jp...gi?CAT_ID=fk_130rhsh). In the clip below, all motive power is from the handcar with its original motor, and the dump car is rather weighty. Extra lead weights were added to the handcar for traction. I use Red and Tacky grease -- magic!
Lionel reversing unit is in the trailing ore car. This year, Lionel offers the 'shorty' cars that would be perfect here.
Take care, Joe.
My favorite is the postwar Virginian FM Trainmaster.
Hmmmm. I think my favorite is my Atlas SD35 I have been working on for about nine months. I keep thinking I am done and then I find new things to do....right now I am swapping out the atlas wheels with Northwest Shortline scale wheels and a ERR cruise commander along with upgraded speaker and such. Never going to be finished at this rate ��
Lionel legacy Penn M1a coal train is my favorite. It has a great whistle, whistle steam, great lighting on engine and tender, a lot of detail. There are still a few of these sets around, so don't miss out.
For me it has to be the engine that started it all, my dad's 671rr from 1952. But truthfully, I don't really have a favorite. I run everything I buy and enjoy it all! The video is my dad's 671rr pulling a set of MTH Pennsy passenger cars and Railway express boxcar on last year's Christmas layout. The 60 year old smoke unit is still going strong!

If we are talking contemporary 1:1 then!
and
They can be found in 1:48.
If for some reason I had to sell all my trains off, the last to be sold would be my VL BB as the BB is my favorite 1:1 locomotive too. My little MARX locomotive will never be sold, it was the first model train I ever got, and it came from my grandfather. That one will get buried with me when I go.
Thanks for posting your great favorite trains
My favorite is the # 2359 Boston and Maine GP 9. Arrived Christmas morning 1963. She is the Queen of the collection.
An MTH RS-3 w/Proto 2....
I'd have to say my favorite has to be:
The SD80MAC - The modern day BEAST of the EAST.

Just say 7228 the other day. Will add a picture tonight.
I would say, for real locos, the SD40-2 is my favorite but the SD80s are a close second. Got to like them when NS took over CRs locos. NS was using them on coal trains on the South Fork Secondary still in blue paint. They were keeping them close to Altoona because of reliability issues. The one day I was there they were having air brake problems. Gradually they were repainted in to the black and white and the NS shop guys got them running. Sure are a nice, powrful engine. Fun t watch. Good looking.
So many favorites, so little time!
VL Bigboy, NYC Mohawk, K-Line J1e Hudson 5344, Weaver CP Empress 2816.

I have this one, very nice
Mine are my MTH Premier Via Rail Genesis A-A pair.
I love my LIRR Steam!
Great trains guys! show us more
Although I don't have a picture of it because it's packed away, it would have to be my U.P. DDA40X Centennial by MTH. I always loved the locomotive and always wanted one as a model. About two years ago, one came up on E-Bay and I bid and won it. It was my Christmas present that the wife and daughter bought for me I told them! LOL! I told them when it arrives just inspect it for damage and then put it away until Christmas, and surprisingly I didn't peek not once until Christmas morning! As a extra surprise, although the engine itself was well over 10-15 years old, I know I was the first one to ever remove it from it's packaging, Cool! The next in line would be my NYC E-8 set.

I have the same set; Lionel engines and all the K-Line cars. Really like them.
J Daddy, your layout is coming on fantastic. Great looking Diesels, on a great looking mountainside....Great track work where the SP Steamer is getting ready to roll through. It's a Wow!
There was a very similar question last month. At that time I said my MTH VO-1000 was probably my favorite runner. However, my favorite engine, although I don't run it that much, is my scale Lionel PRR T1.
Best train was the one I pulled from the pool of engines and it ran...
Any RS-3 and Hudsons.
I've always like my 224E's, but 225E's, and 226E's are also in there as my Favorites. I also have a 18052 PRR Torpedo that I used to love running all the time. I still like to run the 6-8215 NKP Berkshire my wife got me when we were married as well.
i don't know what it is and don't have pictures
its an old black single unit engine with a roof covered with what looked like bumps and crests
it had all these sharp edges and angles all over it
no sound system just loud motor noise and squeaking
a 3 or 4 piece windshield and no cab lights
i saw it when i was 6
can any body guess what it is
i've been trying to figure it out for 15 years now

Has anyone made this in 3 rail O gauge? Seems like this would be a brisk seller if it was produced? I would have to purchase one.
Ron H,
I see your pair of Hudsons and raise you a pair of K4s. My favorites.
