Have a lot of postwar lionel steam engines the smoothest and quietest are the 675 and 2025 with the baldwin wheels from the 1940s.

My favorite though a good pulling great running steamer is the 1946 double worm geared 726 Berk .The bulb smoke unit is a site to behold when running at night with layout dimmed as the smoke comes out of stack the smoke bulb gives it the effect of a real flickering fire coming out albeit white in color it is amazing unlike any other smoking loco's i ever seen and have a lot of smokers. Need to figure out how to do a video of this.Have pair of them one down to bare metal.

Diesels on layout 6220 switcher, 2330 GG1,2322 FM smooth quiet and very good pullers. Our 2343 also good just not as quiet as the other diesels with its classic whine sound.
